AllBum.Art - Alternative Art-Work for Album and Single Covers

Nothing screams Changes better than rainbow lens-flare. At least that is what we would be led to believe if the original front cover artwork of this single by Chris Lake Featuring Laura V was our guide to all things visual. On the remix we find a babe who is either getting dressed, or undressed, or could be in the middle of doing both and is therefore changing. How many times she changes her clothes in a day is definitely not zero, and maybe she changes many times. Strapping!

There are a whole host of people who believe that The World Is Flat, and among them are the band Echobelly. They demonstrate this on the original single front cover artwork through the use of a piece of cardboard, which is quite flat. On the remix we look at another implication of the world being flat, which is that babes would be flat too. Flat-chested that is. And lying on a flat surface. And that is what the remix illustrates, featureless babes on a horizontal surface. Tedious!

Everything But The Girl (or EBTG as they're sometimes monikered) bring us an EP of Covers. The original Covers cover artwork covers the essentials: the name of the band, the title of the EP, and the names of the songs they are covering. On the remix we find a girl who is everything but covered, though she is covered by a small black dress. That about covers it for today's remix, or doesn't cover it if you're the girl on the remixed cover of Covers. Clear!

Who can forget the iconic video for Flat Beat by Mr Oizo where his compadre Flat Eric (the teddy bear looking thing) taps his hands in time to the music, makes a phone call and does all manner of things that detract from the simple fact that the song is awful. The original front cover artwork shows a number of shots of said Flat Eric character. The remix features a babe who appears to be dancing to a beat, and is, as it goes, as flat-chested as the salt flats of Utah. Just as distracting. Toneless!

A summery triple-play for The Sundays and their single Summertime. On the original cover is a ladybug. Why this is representative of summer is not that clear. On the first remix, we have a babe standing in the sea in her bikini, which unfortunately seems to have gotten rather wet. It's a summery vision though. On the second remix a different babe has foregone her bikini altogether, and is standing in the altogether in a colorful floral garden. Wall!

Show Me A Sign, that is the simple request that is coming from Kontakt. The original single front cover artwork shows virtually nothing, other than the name of the band and the title of the song and the name of the record company. The remix shows a babe who is holding up a sign, with the name of the band and the title of the song on it. She is showing us a sign. She is also showing us a little more than this, but we doubt that this would raise anything other than a sign or two. Signature!

We would tend to agree with The Snake Oil Willie Band that based on the artwork on the original front cover of their single, I Don't Look Good Naked Anymore, they don't look that great naked any more. The bulging pink belly is not that attractive. On the remix is an older babe who maybe thinks she doesn't look good naked any more, but that is a matter for personal taste. Sure, her hair is going grey, and her skin is wrinkled in places, but her body is still taut and toned. Evermore!

David Sneddon is requesting that his Baby Get Higher. On the original single cover artwork, we see Mr Sneddon but there is no sign of his baby, and it is immensely unclear what kind of higher he wants her to get: pharmaceutically, physically, spiritually. On the remix we find a babe who is in a good position to get higher as she is standing in front of a set of ladders, and no, they are not ladders in her pantyhose as she is not wearing any. Raise!

It's 14 February which is traditionally known as Valentine's Day, so here's a remix of a song called Valentine by the Delays. On the original single cover artwork, we find that nothing says I love you as much as some black and white wires. Nothing. Well maybe not nothing. Maybe the naked babe on the remix who is covered in flowers says it a little better. Wires, or flowers. Which would you prefer? Floral!

When The Mock Turtles ask a question such as Can You Dig It? We would expect that the original single cover artwork might give an indication of what it is that they are expecting us to dig. On the remix we find out more about the situation. It seems there is a pile of dirt that needs digging, but rather than wait for us to do it, they have invited some young babe to do the digging. It is obviously hot work as she seems to have needed to remove all of her clothes other than her socks and shoes. Humid!
