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.
