The Cd cover has a ripped, rough look to it with a very simple colour scheme. It is fairly dark with only three main colours, red, black, white. looks like the inspiration came from old billboards or retro-themed pop art. The connotations of this are of raw production and the construction of tracks. There is a suggestion of taking something apart (in the rips), which is what Mark Ronson has done in this album of cover versions - taken other people's songs apart and rebuilt them.
This later album has a more vibrant look, with brighter colours like pink and blue. There is an 80s feel, which does link to the retro of "Version" and the idea of different layers is present again. Like before the artwork seems to have been influenced by pop-art and old style vinyl records. Each layer, or each record, on the cover seems to represent a different genre of music, and there is a hint of modern in the bottom right, mechanical shoulder section of the cover.
