Do I need to dig out my "Ghastly Ones" 7" - that one is even more of a blatant rip-off.... I think he copied a "Flying Saucers" poster on a CD as well...

I consiter the Ghastly Ones an homage since they cover Grim Grinning Ghosts with just enough changes to make it legal....

But yeah, the Tiki Tones first album had Tikis that if I'm not mistaken were line-for-line copies of the Tikis from the Enchanted Tiki Room poster. And the Stereophonic Space Sounds Unlimited CD's cover was an exact copy of the Flying Saucer's poster. I don't consiter any of these homages since, well, they have nothing to do (and don't even hint) with the art they're borrowed from.

Now, I'm not 100% sure of this but someone told me that both of those CDs were from Shag's own record label.

"Stereophonic Space Sounds Unlimited " CD:

Flying Saucer poster from Disneyland:

I don't think it's that bad, doing something "in the style of" like the ebay artist did, or what Shag did with the Coolest Ghouls. but this seems a little different...
