do you remember the cristina artwork (sleep it off) and the grace jones (slave to the rhythm) artwork? mid 80s, quite similar, both from the same guy. but which one was first?
I read on the french wikipedia entry for jean-paul goude that he was the husband of grace jones. but maybe he did the cristina job first and then.. so who can help me out?

Are you sure this hasn't been addressed in a Cover Connections thread?

didn't find anything that answered it.

Cristina was first, Sleep it off was released Spring '84. Slave to the rhythm was Autumn '85.

My copy of Sleep it Off says 1984, and Discogs has Slave to the rhythm as 1985.

I'm sure I asked this very same question on here a few years ago. It always really surprised me that they used the same aesthetic, and that no one seemed fussed. Has anyone else used this cutty-neck style for a photo? Because I soon will.

At least I think they'e the ones in question. I'm sure I've seen a Grace in a shot more faithful to Cristina's, but maybe that was just a scene in the 'Slave to the rhythm' video.
