What is it with 80s Boogie and Red Telephones? (Coverartwork-R)

Any theories? What message do the red telephones bring across? Any more examples?

Even music inspired by the 80s boogie era seems to follow your rule!

We just don't get it. It's a disease. (Listening to Shania Twain now.)

Red looks good in photos compared to the drab tones of your regular office bashers.

Whenever I see someone using a red phone I assume they're calling a sex hotline.

Apart from color: Why all these telephones? I mean it was an pretty old technology. How does it embedd into the otherwise futuristic aesthetics used in that era?

Hey Disco Che.. maybe it had to do with the cold-war 80's red telephone "hot-line" aspect? Maybe the red telephone associated with presidential prestige or something to that affect.. I dunno..

This cover would be so much hotter with a red phone.
