TRC/I Want You I noticed today that these two albums have very similar styled artwork. was it the same artist who did them? or has anything ever been mentioned regarding TRC taking influence from I Want You in respect to cover design? | |

YES, Marvin Gayes 'I want You'. Just because marvins album came out decades before doesnt mean that P couldnt take inspiration from the artwork. Nor does it mean that the same artist didnt create both album covers. | |

As TheReal Finesse stated above, c´babibayoc, the artist who did the album cover and booklet artwork, probably wasn´t even born when I Want You came out, but you´re right, the style does remind me of the artwork on Marvin Gaye´s masterpiece.
The same artist who did the artwork for I Want You also did a few other album covers, including a Curtis Mayfield album cover with a radio DJ on it ( was it the Back By Popular Demand album ?? Or something like that...I don´t have that album anymore..) CampLo ( HipHop group ) also had an album cover inspired by I Want You. Talking about Prince´s album covers.you should definitely check out the alternative album cover for Around The World In A Day...it´s not necessarily "better" than the released version, but fascinating nonetheless...

I´m talking about the OTHER album cover for ATWIAD, not the one by Doug Henders but that other , almost Salvador Dali-like album cover done by ....I don´t remember.
Prince opted for the Henders version that we all know. The other album cover had almost the same themes, but looked more realistic. I don´t have it on my hard disc, and the search engine doesn´t work, but I know some orgers have it somewhere ( I recall Neversin posting it a long time ago).

Indeed... which cover... could u post it please? start a new topic for it if you want someone to post it. it's been posted on the forums several times but i keep forgetting to save it to disc. it's not stellar, just different. it's kinda like the original cover done in a photographic way instead of a drawing. it looked kinda Paisley Park video meets the cover of the album mixed with Raspberry Beret overtones.  and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

Firstly, on topic, the cover of 'I Want You' is 'The Sugar Shack' by Ernie Barnes.
Barnes work can be viewed (and purchased) at his website: http://www.erniebarnes.com/ The cover for 'The Rainbow Children' is 'Reine Keis Quintet' by C'Babi Bayoc. His work can be viewed at his website http://www.bayocstudio.com/ You can find other useful links here: http://www.dawnation.com/menu2/trc.html (It's difficult not to conclude that the work has .been influenced by the 'neo-Mannerist' style pioneered by Barnes and others.) .
