Copy cat or just the design of the time?

forget that that...MJGs always reminds me of this:

I'm in love with Mary Jane.
She's my main thing.
She makes me feel alright.
She makes my heart sing.

Some classics from the Warner back catalogue...

Uncanny!

MikeMatronik said:

Yeah.

Cheek said:

Maybe even prophetic!

Cheek said:

DAMN, they're even wearing the same stupid little tie

CalhounSq said:

There must be a hidden message?

MikeMatronik said:

Cheek said:

sosgemini said:

Actually I hate trannies! If I want to shag a woman, I will shag a woman that is genetically one...not some knock cheap copy!

MikeMatronik said:

wow...thats a lot of hate speech for one post.

sosgemini said:

It's not hate. I know some transvestites and I enjoy some shows I have seen. But sexual intercourse with them is not my thing.

MikeMatronik said:

sounds like the, "some of my best friends are black" defense.



just joshing ya.

TBF, Cameo used to be an opening act for Rick James. This makes it more like a special shout-out than just being copycats. And yes, the artwork looks too new wave-ish.

Cheek said:

The original design (Tom Waits) looks like crap!

not exactly the same but you can tell avril was inspired by it

Boy, some people find inspiration in the most peculiar places

I own both the tom waits and controversy, I just never compared both. Newspaper as a frame is nothing new in albumart:

1972


1972


1989

Sign o the times would have been great with an album cover consisting of newspapers!

These two are spooky:


1986


1978

These three are great, even though they are clearly copycats. The question here is, which came first!
