Wow, great find! That's got to be were they got the idea. I would assume that was a thrift store find from Horovitz!

fuck yeah! awesome find. i wonder if they lifted this idea as a joke, or if they were actually taken by the idea. i highly doubt they are paying homage to ole Billy Ocean. it's hilarious either way, and it's great to finally have a reference for such a strange cover. (y)

I actually have this record, but I don't think I would have ever actually noticed that.

Well, if they can sample music, they can sample artwork as well!
Good find, Martijn!

I think the boys are on an escalator which makes this even more hilarious to me. Great find, I love this cover. So random and funny.
