Seems that the Rippingtons signature cat icon is the jazz equivalent to Iron Maiden's Eddie. It's fun to see what the Jazz Cat will be up to whenever a new Ripps disc is announced. So, through all of the years we've had the Jazz Cat, which is your favorite cover?

Mine:
Tourist In Paradise
Topaz

I've got four that I can't make up my mind about:
Brave New World
Topaz
Life in the Tropics
Let It Ripp

For me it's Sahara --the way the Cat is woven into the Egyptian culture is cool.

Also, Moonlighting since it's where the Jazz Cat made it's debut.

I've often envisioned the wall of my office at work sporting two framed album posters -- and those would be the two....

Always have liked the Live in LA cover...Jazzcat with a hot momma, out on the town- Of course, it's probably my favorite Ripps cd of all time too, which I'm sure sways the vote for me.

Curves Ahead, Weekend in Monaco, and Black Diamond too...the artwork has always been a signature way to tell a new release.
Brave New World and Sahara are cool too....too many to choose from!

i could find nothing cooler than curves ahead. it took coolness to a whole new level. snowboarding? thats cool! playing electric guitar? thats cool! snowboarding AND playing guitar AND getting some phat wicked AIR? thats SUB ZERO!!

I can do both, but not at the same time. Wish i was a cat.


Of I initially clicked onto this thread to say "Let's stay together"

I'd rate Topaz as my favorite cover, followed by the Curves Ahead and Welcome to St. James Club covers.

They're all great covers but if I had to pick a least favorite, it'd be Kilimanjaro.

I think my favorite cover is the one with the worst case - Black Diamond... The cardboard is much more delicate & susceptable to damage than the traditional plastic jewel cases - But all the artwork is kewl regardless.

Geez, I was thinking the thread was about 'cover tunes', not cover art!








Carry On.........

LOL, Dave, got ready to get on your soapbox, eh?
