For newcomers, the Rules Of The Game:

Rule 1: Cover Connections
Rule 2: Cover Connections II - The Saga Continues
Rule 3: don't link to geocities sites, like Alex just did ;)

I always thought that band's name was "AdGez" (like "ages") - not "Angel"... That's what it looked like it said when I was 12, and I never really looked again after that to make sure...

Spinal Tap is based heavily on that band, according to Michael McKeand.

dave225 (Dave225), Monday, 30 September 2002 18:01 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm reasonably certain I did this one on the first thread, but can't remember....in any case:

Wasn't there a Bad Company or Eagles or something that looked like Guiffria, only in color?

For the third time, someone has posted that Sleater-Kinney/Kinks connection. Once for each thread.

Sorry about that. For some reason, I didn't see it in the other threads.

can't find a picture of either one, but there was a wonderful coupling of covers, one being Sexual Milkshake's "Space Gnome" single and then the other being the Unrest single for "Bavarian Mods", which bastardised the SM cover to hilarious effect. Maybe I'll scan these when I get home, because there seems to be a dire shortage of TeenBeat singles covers on the 'net.

Great series of threads, by the way. It's been thoroughly enjoyable.

I did the Pink Floyd-KLF connection in Part II.

But that reminds me, more recently there has been a terrific spoof done of the KLF cover by Sabotage Communications:

Those Rod Stewart and Lemmy ones there are referencing the Elvis Gold Hits (50,000.00 fans can't be wrong..) cover maybe? You know the one? My brother (the Elvis impersonator) has it but I can't find a picture of it for some reason.

Kim (Kim), Monday, 7 October 2002 16:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Kim (Kim), Monday, 7 October 2002 16:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah, there it is....I didn't the title of the Elvis cover (which clearly predated the Lemmy and Rod ones), and thus couldn't find it. Knew someone would fill in the blank. I seem to remember a cover or Rolling Stone that featured the same motif.......only with Beavis & Butthead, instead of Elvis.

Sorry for the delay....this thread has gotten so big that it crashes my computer. Cover Connections IV is up, but it's a slightly different format (as you'll see).

In answer to your question, I think the fact that twice I week I work twelve hour overnight shifts....I have a lot of free time to waste on trying to recall album covers (when i should be working).

This thread is too full so I've started a new one on the same theme. Some handy links for the record:

Cover Connections Part 5: It just goes on and on (number sequence)

and here's the new one:
