Legendary DEEEP soul singer Otis Clay and “Trying To Live My Life Without You” on Hi Rccords. Produced in Memphis by Willie Mitchell in 1972. Here’s a great live version from Japan in 1978 as well.
Bob Seger brought this one back to the charts with his cover in 1981. (Side note courtesy of Wikipedia: Seger has claimed that he recorded the song to show how the Eagles stole the song’s melody in their song “The Long Run”. Seger highlights the similarities between the two songs in the arrangement of his version, in the bassline especially.)
I like the little white dog too.

“Naga” (“Naked”) is rock opera album by the Polish band Niebiesko-Czarni (Blue-Blacks; English translation of the band’s name on this cover isn’t literal). It was released in the People’s Republic of Poland in 1972 through Polskie Nagrania “Muza”. (Thanks to LP cover lover Dadarin for the contribution)

“A Tribute to the Immortal Bob Scobey” by Jan Scobey and her Dixie Cats. (1966) Jansco Records Cover design by Don Bronstein
LP cover lover, Ross Smythe writes: I enjoy LP Cover Lover and check it a few times per week to see what’s new and unusual. Found this at the Orange County Record Show, a monthly event here in Southern California. The cover caught my attention. I had never seen this title before, and I liked the black and white, the shadows, and the photo of the young lady. Bob Scobey (1916 – 1963) was an American jazz trumpeter and bandleader – Jan is his wife and is the vocalist on this album. I’d be curious to see how your other viewers rate this cover. I’d give it at least a 4/5.
