The question is not about album covers, it is about musical covers.

[rcarlberg]

What?

[PeterG]

Who did the original of Everydays, was it Buffalo Springfield? Stills? Byrds?

[BaldFriede]

Artists playing the songs of other artists.

[Mister Triscuits]

Buffalo Springfield.

[GuitarGeek]

Richie Havens Here Comes The Sun (the first time I heard it, I didn't even realize it was the George Harrison composition)


It's on a Kiss record, but it's effectively an Ace Frehley solo track, since he's the only band member on the track

How about a cover of a cover (by a guy from Duran Duran, backed by a couple Zappa escapees, no less!)?!

[PeterG]

Buffalo Springfield.

Ta, mate!

Well, what do you call the cardboard sleeve a record comes in, then?

The first two songs are covers from Jacques Brel, they sound very different to the original tho' Bowie loved these songs and made his own version. Also the lyrics are in English not French.
David Bowie - My Death, this is a cover from Jacquel Brel - La Morte. This song is eerie beautiful.

David Bowie - In the Port of Amsterdam, also another Jacques Brel song Dans le Port d Amsterdam. This is also a beautiful powerful song.

David Gilmour - Dark Globe. This is a cover from Syd Barrett, here you'll hear Gilmour singing like never before, certainly not has high as this. Very beautiful too.

I call it the record sleeve.

I thought those were the paper sleeves inside the cover.

[PeterG]

Oh, you diamond Sonia, Port Of Amsterdam is one of my absolute fav Bowie performances, even though it's a cover, definitely in my top 5.. In fact it is one of the first songs on a Bowie CD-R I made about 10 years ago.
And a song from Syd as well. You have good taste!

[PeterG]

I thought those were the paper sleeves inside the cover.

I call that the inner sleeve.

Oh crap, I did it again, doh Peter, I am very sorry about that (we need that smiley hitting his head against the wall).
A friend on PA is called SteveG, it's a habit, I know you are not him of course, also am well aware I am talking to Peter, but it's a habit, a dumb one, typing that name to you sorry, now it won't happen again afterall all this hammering into my head I'll probably will start calling Steve, Peter now

Whatever you say, Steve.
