Carly Simon - Playing Possum 1975 ELEKTRA A48 8-track tape

Playing Possum is singer-songwriter Carly Simon's fifth studio album, released in April 1975. It was her third consecutive album to reach the top ten of the best-selling album charts, peaking at number 10 in June 1975. Singles from the album were not as successful. The first single from the album, "Attitude Dancing," reached only number 21 on the Billboard charts. A second single, "Waterfall," which featured prominent backing vocals by Simon's then-husband James Taylor, reached no higher than number 78. A third attempt, the single "More and More", was co-written by New Orleans pianist Dr. John, who also played piano on the track, but it peaked no higher than number 94.

Playing Possum is now best remembered for its controversial cover photograph, which shows the singer wearing only a black negligee, stockings and knee-high black boots. The photographer was Norman Seeff. It ranked at #20 on the Rolling Stone's list of the 100 greatest album covers.
