Whatever Turns You On is the second and last studio album by blues rock power trio/supergroup West, Bruce and Laing.
Contents
The album features a black-and-white comic strip on its front and back covers depicting the alleged "turn-ons" of the band's members - Leslie West's is food, Jack Bruce's alcohol, and Corky Laing's sex - as pursued by various poltergeists representing each of the three. The album's front cover drawing shows the three band members, each pictured with their poltergeist alter-egos.
Although not the hit that West, Bruce and Laing's debut 1972 album Why Dontcha was, Whatever Turns You On was a moderate success, reaching #87 on the Billboard U.S. album chart.
