Record covers that live on

[Beater Pan]

I stumbled upon this article highlighting a new record by AM & Shawn Lee (which some of you may knwo from the (KPM) library music circus or from the Ping Pong Orchestra, amongst others). What caught my eye was the cover art, which is taken from some other release a good while back. I remember reading/hearing about the source of the original cover art, but I cant wrap my head around it. Im sure somebody here knows it!?

Another one making use of this was recently the talented UK indie rapper Melanin 9:

Can you come up with any cover art designs that have been adopted again? I know theres been loads of covers leaning on original Blue Note stuff..

Not sure on the actual pics but both covers utilise the border/font design that all 'Bruton' library records used. eg:

Either way, pretty cool, I've always loved those Bruton covers and not sure how they went down here but I rather enjoyed 'the ping pong orchestra' albums they were very well done.

First thing that springs to mind is 'Throbbing Gristle' appropriating 'Martin Denny' and showing their love for Exotica on this release although they quite rightly do away with the 'fishing for girls' aspect of the original:



I'm sure 'Stereolab' have done similar with some of their cover art.

Some of Bollywood records are alive.

I always wonder about this one from the beastie boys.

[Cacapo]

This always makes me laugh:

I like it when label designs do this too, although that's probably worthy of a new thread.

And respect for doing a different label on each release, e.g.

I'm sure 'Stereolab' have done similar with some of their cover art.

[bongolia]

even the name "Stereolab" is taken from the Vanguard sleeves...
