I just picked up the new Brian Wilson CD, and something looked awfully
familiar 
about some of the cover elements.

When I got home (after stupidly running out of gas!) I checked, and, sure 
enough, there was a strong resemblence to the Paul Weller "Stanley Road" 
American release! Looking inside both discs, I see that they were both
designed 
by Peter Blake!


Are the Weller and Wilson albums on the same label? I think the "Startling
Resemblance Award" goes out to the entire Rainbow Quartz catalog, or at
least the dozen or so Contrast, Winnerys, Myracle Brah, and Lackloves titles
that were on the merch table at IPO Chicago's Rainbow Quartz Night. The
cover artwork of *all of them* looks too much alike for it to be a
co-inky-dink -- particularly in terms of color selection.
