Annals of Originality

Singer's new album cover is nearly identical to last year's ''Trainspotting''

Does Trainspotting helmer Danny Boyle's next film star Harry Belafonte, or are we tripping? Judging from the jacket of Belafonte's An Evening With Harry Belafonte & Friends, there's at least some trend spotting going on. ''It wasn't conscious, but the minute I did it, it was absolutely Trainspotting,'' says Carol Bobolts, whose cover design for the Belafonte disc starkly resembles the smack classic's two CDs. ''We showed Harry 10 different covers; this was the one he was interested in.'' For the Brit-pop-mad Boyle, the dupe isn't likely to make his day-oh.
