some belgian designer has prob seen it an copied it thinking no one will know and not realised how big the clash are.

yeah I've got the rudeboy album......it's ok. A couple of tunes are pretty original, but most is just typical bailey using the same loops as always.

[BRADLEE]

however on the topic of cover art, yes it is exactly the same....

So basic too....I don't think it would have been too hard to deviate from that. Unless that was the intention for it to come off like a CLash or Elvis Album. In terms of success that is...

[audioinjection]

probably intentional

Honestly it's pretty dope to see Marco homage The Clash,
I'd like to recreate Slayers Live Undead for a release of mine but hey we cant all get what we want.
