Cover Version is a compilation album by British musician and record producer Steven Wilson, released in June 2014 via Kscope.  

Known as "the king of prog rock", Steven Wilson best known as the founder, lead guitarist, singer, and songwriter of Porcupine Tree, as well as his production and audio engineering work, which he self-taught. His other projects include Bass Communion, Incredible Expanding Mindfuck (I.E.M.), and Blackfield. He has also worked with artists such as King Crimson, Pendulum, Jethro Tull, and Anathema.

His music has received widespread acclaim. He has been nominated four times for the Grammy Awards, twice with Porcupine Tree, twice with his collaborative band Storm Corrosion, and as a soloist on one occasion.

Cover Version compiles the 12 songs originally released as six "2 song" singles by Steven Wilson between March 2003 and February 2010. Each single was released on both 7" vinyl and CD, and consisted of an original song, and a cover of another artist's work. The only exception to this format is in "The Unquiet Grave" which is an old English folk song, and not a Steven Wilson compostion.

The compilation features covers of songs by Alanis Morissette, ABBA, The Cure, Momus, Prince, and Donovan. 

Check out the cover of ABBA's "The Day Before You Came", and Prince's "Sign o' the Times".
