Al Jolson - Let Me Sing And I'm Happy (rec. 1926-1936, Rhino-TCM comp. 1996)
No, that's not a misprint. "The Jazz Singer" in 1927 was the first talking feature, but this historic soundtrack collection from the Warner Bros. vault goes even further back to include Al's first on screen singing appearance the previous year in a one reeler short called "A Plantation Act". Along the way, we get selections from the six films Jolie made after "The Jazz Singer", including his final starring role in "The Singing Kid" from 1936 when he was actually over 50. Jolson was always at his spontaneous best on the Warner soundstage, so many of these songs which include his vocal asides are superior to his commercial records.

Short Albums with Painted Art Covers Night (because I just made it up and of course it is)!

Now searching for a third one that meets this dubious, made-up criteria.

So, consigned to my silly, tedious task, I stumble onwards.
Arizona ~ The Sun and the Room [EP] (2005)
Creeper Lagoon ~ Remember the Future [EP] (2002)
Okay, you say, but that does not look like a painting.
But, it does look like a dark, coffee-stained Formica laminate, so I might be giving up this assignment.

Before I Forget doesn't get a lot of love but I think It's pretty good. Quite a bit of variety with rock, prog and even some nice ballads with vocals by Vicki and Sam Brown. Maybe the haters were looking for Deep Purple or Whitesnake, which this definitely is not.
