a cover album - jazzboCR - 22-02-2014
Not an album of covers, not even different songs by 1 artist (plenty of those); rather, an album that replicates another one. Cheap Trick pulled this off niftily: http://www.allmusic.com/album/sgt-pepper-live-mw0000829202 << love these guys--when they started they couldn't get a gig in their hometown Rockford IL--rapturous reception in Milwaukee, WI though, 95 miles (150 kilometers) away
Looking for other examples--contributions gleefully solicited.

Phish make a living out of this! They have played complete albums by The Beatles,Talking Heads, Velvet Underground, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd to name a few! I love this concept performed before a live audience! They also have several original albums of their own!

I probably wasn't clear enough, but in looking through the Phish discog, I didn't see an album in which they replicated another's album exactly, beginning-to-end. There's devotion to another group and then there's rapture...as Cheap Trick showed.

They play the white album song by song as my utube video shows!

What you can do and what they did do is produce a brilliant pastiche of the album. Sorry, but that doesn't meet the OPs strictures. Gotta be the whole album, recorded in at least a strictly-aural form and available for sale. Haven't checked evilB's mentions but they doubtless do the do.

The Youtube video is continuous man ...let it play and play????
mile:The displayed video is only one of the songs! Click on that go to the 9:02 mark and then they start to play another song... and then another ,,,etc,a complete listen is required!

Here's a near-as-dammit cover album. Booker T and the MG's so loved the Beatles Abbey Road, they did a complete cover of it, right down to stylin' the album cover. A tour de force and arguably their best album. McLemore Avenue. AMG's take: http://www.allmusic.com/album/mclemore-avenue-mw0000307863
Tell you what, I'll grace you with the whole album HD--no vids but lay back in your brains and you won't miss'm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3af2QyD0PoI
My street creds are shot for not posting this one first.
I find it utterly shameful and a damning indictment that there's <7500 YouTube hits on this piece.

Wait, the whole album covered? I'm (as usual) confused.
I think David Bowie did one, 'Pin - Ups'...not too bad.
And, i think the Flaming Lips did 'Dark Side of the Moon'...never heard it though, so can't vouch....
Beck's Record Club, etc...
God, I sound like such an ass.

Damn, such a dummy I missed that Flaming Lips reference.
Liked Liabach. 'I, ME, Mine' esp...is a good cover.
