Probably going to be single letter or digit, so:

Steve Hillage - L
Beatles - 1 (tho' that's a compilation)

Any others?

There are of course untitled albums as well, like Led Zeppelin's fourth, or Peter Gabriel's first few.......

I guess what you need is a band with a short name with an equally short album title:

A1-A1

The one by Prince with the love symbol - kind of a stylised cross incorperating like a female/male symbol in it as well and maybe a P.

Probably cheating because the word is also on the album sleeve but what about Zappa's (')?

Did the Beatles album commonly now referred to as " The White Album" have any official title?

If not then you can't get shorter than nothing whatsoever

As far as I remember it was just a white cover with the band's name

Missed the bit in the starter about titleless albums but I'll leave this as a famous addition to those mentioned

Alright TheFoe! Just been flat to the mat setting up a business here in Bulgaria which believe me isn't easy! Worth it for the lifestyle though. Still make a point of taking a look on the forum though and am quite envious of all you guys & gals plans for forum meet ups. I'd say they're hilarious; some big personalities on here! Bulgarian meet up for the future?

...or sticking with Gabriels tiled albums there is Us of which he even recycled the U in his next 2 letter effort. Definetly not one to wear out the alphabet.

The Slits second album is usually considered to have no title - sometimes referred to as just Y or Y3 (the catalogue number I think)

The Beatles White Album's official title is "The Beatles" Carradale!

How about pretty much every Chicago album for briefness.

'So' by Peter Gabriel, with 'Sludgehammer' on!

Gabriel has actually spared the printing costs on all of his last three studio albums: So, Us and Up

Absolutely correct of course TF re. "The Beatles". I was remembering them as having been even cleverer than they were in the marketing of this one...

Some other interesting stuff .....

"The White Album's original working title was A Doll's House, after Henrik Ibsen's play .

In addition, according to The Beatles Album by Geoffrey Giuliano, an illustration was prepared for the cover of A Doll's House by the famed artist Patrick* but the plain white cover was opted for instead. This illustration eventually showed up on Parlophone's The Beatles Ballads in 1980, the Dutch release of which, De Mooiste Songs (The Most Beautiful Songs), is shown on
......" http://www.beatlesagain.com/btwhite.html


* Patrick being in reality the artist and playwright John Byrne of Tutti Frutti, The Slab Boys, Your Cheating Heart,,etc, etc fame. (Rather than Spiderman, Superman etc, etc) Also did album covers for Gerry Rafferty and Stealers Wheel I think

You may be a little confused about this TF, The Slits' first Album had the fairly short title of 'Cut' , their second was 'Return of the Giant Slits'. The Pop Group's first album was 'Y'.

No. Led Zep's fourth album has been called Led Zep 4 and Four Symbols, but actually has no title.

Not the shortest we have had but nice try for wit in the banality stakes was......

Islands 1971 double-album budget sampler called El Pea. (LP. Geddit!)

It had a large photo of a single pea on the front
