My mind went in a weird direction this morning. The Grateful Dead’s Aoxomoxoa was playing on the radio and it got me thinking - that was a meaningless album title. It isn’t the title of a song, a phrase in a song on the album, the artist’s name or nickname, nor was it in any way descriptive of the album itself. Then I started thinking of other such album titles, and couldn’t come up with any. I’m sure they are out there.
So, Doper music buffs - what is the earliest album title you can find that is the least descriptive?
The Beatles “White Album” was actually titled “The Beatles”.
Led Zeppelin’s fourth album technically has no title, so I don’t know if that fits the bill for the OP or not.
How about Blue Cheer’s Vincebus Eruptum (released 1/16/68)?
The Kinks’ 1966 album Face To Face also, I think, qualifies (with the added bonus that the album cover doesn’t show the artist or anything related to the album’s musical content).
In the UK Donovan released his 1st album, What’s Bin Did and What’s Bin Hid, in May 1965, 7 months ahead of the aforementioned Rubber Soul!
In the US, though, it was re-titled after one of the songs on it, Catch the Wind.
