Cheech & Chong's Wedding Album is the fourth studio album recorded by comedy duo Cheech & Chong, released in 1974 on Ode Records. It was certified Gold by the RIAA. [2]
The album cover of Cheech & Chong's Wedding Album had concept origination, design and art direction by Peter Corriston and contained unique artwork that made the album look like an actual wedding album; the album's design was even nominated for a Grammy award.
In the inner fold of the original vinyl LP, there are many pictures of the "wedding and reception". Cheech and Chong, both playing the groom, were dressed to look like conjoined twins, while the bride, a blonde whose face remained hidden by wearing a plain brown bag over her head in every photo, is in the late stages of pregnancy.
Original sleeve inserts contained mail order information for various Cheech & Chong paraphernalia, including candles, T-shirts, and ceramic hand-painted roach clips.

Big Bambú is the second album by Cheech & Chong, released in 1972. The name Big Bambu is a reference to the actual Bambu brand of rolling paper. The original LP concept and album package was approved by the producer Lou Adler and designed by Craig Braun and manufactured by his company, Sound Packaging Corp. to look like a giant rolling paper package, and contained a giant rolling paper with the record. Vinyl copies with the rolling paper have become collectible and hard to find. The original CD packaging has been slightly reformatted, and does not contain rolling papers.

Los Cochinos is a 1973 comedy album recorded by Cheech & Chong. The Spanish term cochino is a derogatory way of referring to a pig, as it also means "dirty", in contrast to cerdo, a more neutral word for a pig as an animal. In this context, "cochino" equates to the American derogatory term "pig" for "policeman".
