Album covers based on other album covers

The Jimmy Reed was first. Released in 1958. The Howlin Wolf came out four of five years later...

Never saw the Reed sleeve before, but I had a suspicion that that might have been first. The Wolf sleeve is so well known though and the album is generally referred to as 'the rocking chair album'. It's funny that it's the imitator.

The Monk sleeve was first by a long way but I am not too sure they are all that similar anyway.

It has been pointed out before on this board that the Dylan sleeve was designed by Reid Miles.
