[QUOTE=Biffy the Elephant Shrew] I started to write this one up myself as another near miss, but didn’t bother sending it. _Return to Forever_ **is** credited as a Chick Corea solo album. The next one, with the same personnel, is credited to “Chick Corea with Return to Forever.” The next three, the first ones with the classic electric lineup, were “Return to Forever featuring Chick Corea.” It wasn’t until _Romantic Warrior_, their first on Columbia, that the band was ever billed simply as Return to Forever. [/QUOTE] Oh, all right, I acquiesce - I can’t be certain, but I think that’s going to be as close as we ever get with a jazz album. Not the first time Wikipedia has some imprecise information - further investigation (on the Chick Corea website) reveals that Chick himself seems to think this was under his name. ---

[QUOTE=TWDuke] Continuing the string of posts that aren’t what the OP was looking for, after David Bowie recorded **The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars** , which included the song “Ziggy Stardust,” his real-life band became known as the Spiders from Mars. (There actually was one [Spiders from Mars](http://www.5years.com/spidersalbum76.htm) " album without Bowie or lead guitarist Mick Ronson. It flopped.)
