Cover Art Contest!

Update #2: We have a winner! Sid, who is obviously a fan of singing cowboy movies, correctly identified this cover as belonging to Rustler's Rhapsody, a 1985 movie starring -- well, you know. This is a vastly underrated movie, in my opinion; it's a campy takeoff on the white hat-wearing, code of the Old West-adhering cowboy hero. The movie could also be a source by itself for an entire trivia game. It's the "Princess Bride" of singing cowboy movies. Anyway, congratulations to Sid for being so perceptive.

And, in anticipation of certain comments, I never said what kind of cover!

Update #1: The guesses have been pretty, um, wide-ranging thus far, so I've re-uploaded the image with a bit more revealed.

I was going back through the Historical Records and I'm amazed to find that we haven't had a cover art contest since...well, for a long time. So here's one to whet your appetite prior to Christmas.

You know the drill. First one to identify the source of the following cover wins insane accolades. Every now and then, I'll uncover a few more bits if it appears that you're either (1) stumped or (b) apathetic.

Oh...Wallace, it's not "A Hard Day's Night" by the Beatles.

Well duh! With that "R" exposed at the end it couldn't be. It's obviously....

Rubber Soul......The Beatles.

Ha! You fall for that exposed "R" trick every time.

how can you google this with only that 'r' showing? This is too hard!

Don't tell me we're gonna have to call the waaah-bulance already.

The striptease routine will proceed apace.

Sorry, I had to take a break and go up to the track and walk.

Have I won yet?????

PS: my additional bonus guess is "Jumping Jack Flashr"......the Rolling Stones.

It's "Buona Sera Signorina" by Adriano Celentano (you-know-who's dad).

The nose looks about right.

Oh, you guys are moving the bar on this one. I'm not saying which direction, though.

I guess it's time for another upload.

Four for Texas?

Rustlers' Rhapsody

Nice one. Love the idea.

Posted by: Jane at December 17, 2005 11:57 PM

I don't know what Wallace is thinking. Clearly this is the White Album, by the Beatles.

It's nice to see that there are still LV discs which haven't been sent to the shredder. (I play one every now and then myself.)
