Joe Cocker - 1972 - A&M Records - Rock/Blues Rock - Salvaged + Upcycled Vinyl LP Record Album - Decorative Bowl

This unique piece of functional art is handcrafted from an original 1972 pressing of Joe Cocker's self-titled third studio album, released under the iconic A&M Records label. The deep black vinyl has been carefully heat-molded into a striking fluted shape, preserving the authentic gold and ochre center label that features classic tracks like Pardon Me Sir and High Time We Went. Expertly repurposed as a decorative catchall or conversation-starting centerpiece, this bowl bridges the gap between vintage music history and modern sustainable home decor. The soul and grit of 1970s blues rock are captured in its rhythmic curves, making it a perfect gift for audiophiles or a nostalgic addition to any eclectic living space.

Album Summary

Originally released in late 1972, this self-titled LP (often referred to by fans as Something to Say) represents a pivotal moment in Joe Cocker's career as he leaned into a jazzier, more sophisticated blues-rock sound. Featuring the Chris Stainton Band and the Sanctified Sisters, the album is notable for being one of the few releases where Cocker co-wrote the majority of the lyrics. It includes his hit single "High Time We Went" and a soulful cover of the Allman Brothers' "Midnight Rider," showcasing the raw, gravelly vocal power that defined the Woodstock era.

Record bowls are approximately 8-10” x 3-5”.
