The ultimate party record of the era, though I am pretty certain I never actually heard it at a party. Although, now my brain has just dug very deep and found it. It was the first time I ever saw someone wear a lampshade. Wow... hadn't thought of that in a very long time. Anyway, the album is so great, nothing really at all like it, and is deservedly a cult classic that has incredibly sold three million copies. Crazy. Here is a cool thing from the Wikipedia article on the album: "The cover model is Billie Jo Campbell, a three-year-old girl who was walking down a Los Angeles street when she and her mother were approached and offered $100 for the photograph that became the album cover. The photograph depicts Campbell peering into the window of a house in Laurel Canyon. Campbell recollects: "I remember looking into that building, and they kept telling me there were animals in there, and I was pissed off ... I didn't know why they were making me look in this building. I had no idea there were photographers there. I was ... pissed off that I couldn't see the animals and I was all cranky by the end of it."
