The Gentle Art of Ripoff

This is interesting - a gallery of album covers that copy other album covers. Some are more artfully done than others; most directly steal from their inspirations. (another swell Sound Scavengers find)

They missed the Kink "Kontroversy"/Sleater-Kinney "Dig Me Out" steal. Still, lots of good fun.

there's quite a few here i didn't know about before. though a few seem like a bit of a stretch(ie art blakey and jazzmatazz). i was surprised that ween's the pod isn't up there.

It's missing my personal favourite: Herb Alpert and Soul Asylum.

Yeah. I noticed a few others that they missed:

Ornette Coleman's Ornette! and Clinic's Internal Wrangler.

Perrey & Kingsley's The In Sound from Way Out! and The Beastie Boys' The In Sound from Way Out!

Kenny Burrell's Midnight Blue and Elvis Costello & the Attractions' Almost Blue.

Also, sorta: Pavement's Slanted and Enchanted was fudged from an old Ferrante & Teicher album cover.
