If these dudes knew about how Google works when they made their names they probably would have switched shit up I think. I thought about that when I was googling information about The Albert today... Fucking bupkis.

So I don't know anything about this record other than they have 2 Self Titled LPs (smart!) on Perception, from 1970 and 1971. Otis Smith is involved I guess... Fuck it.

How about Heart on King? The group with the Give Me A Happy Day break. How about a Self Titled album released in 1969... and then ANOTHER Self Titled album in 1972. Great, dudes...

What else you got? I also immediately thought of the group The Las. Also, if they weren't so fucking huge, I guess Yes would be up shit's creek.

Oh yeah, then there's the rapper who's part of teh roots who's name is Porn. Didn't think too much about that one did you my dude. I think he may have switched his shit up to P.O.R.N. but you know, not sure how much that helps.

    The The.

    A word Google does not index repeated twice. If they wernt't an established act already, i think Google would have ignored them.

    Mr. Mister as well.

    There's been a recentish trend for symbol style names which doesn't work great in google if you're trying to find out about artists called shit like ///?????????

    Also, based rapper "Issue" isn't the easiest one to find. Calling his debut release "The E" didn't help matters much either.

    You gotta use double quotes and +'s of generic words like LP and record.

    "Thing", the Arni Cheatham fusion jazz funk "Thing". Eventually, I did find a copy through google, but it took awhile
