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

It's a Watcher's Point Of View (Don't Cha Think)? That is what PM Dawn are asking. To illustrate this, their original single front cover artwork they show us the sea at sunset (or is it sunrise) with the band's name engraved showing outer space. On the remix we see a babe walking down the street and over her left shoulder a guy has the watcher's point of view, with the name of the band suitably engraved over the whole scene. It seems that her dress is very see-through, and although our view shows this, you have to wonder what he is staring at. Pink!

What is on show, when You Showed Me, what was it that was shown? On the original single front cover artwork by Salt 'N' Pepa, the band members all seem to be looking at something, but what is it that they are being shown? On the remix is a guy giving a thumbs-up, presumably for the busty mature babe next to him whose outfit shows plenty to start with. Maybe she showed him in more detail which is why he is happy and smiling. Truth!

What does the First Time look like? If the original single front cover artwork produced by M-22 Featuring Medina is our guide, then the first time looks like two diagonal stripes drawn with a felt tip pen that is running out of ink. On the remix we find a babe who has decided to expose herself in public. How do we know this is her first time? She has made a few rookie mistakes. The biggest of these is that she has knelt down at exactly the height that means that the text on the single cover is covering her singularity (if you know what we mean, as she doesn't). Dunce!

Better known for their annoying song about Barbie, Aqua have decided to Turn Back Time. According to the original single front cover artwork, this will be achieved by lounging around on blow-up clocks of some kind. On the remix we find a babe who is wishing she had one of those clocks to turn back time, as for some reason she has found herself standing with just a black hat to cover her naked modesty on a busy street. Cover!

There aren't many songs about airports, but Luton Airport by Cats UK is one of them. The original single front cover artwork seems to show the band with their luggage, but are they at Luton Airport or some other airport? On the remix we find a babe who also has her luggage but is most certainly standing outside Luton Airport (who knew it was in London, we didn't?) She would appear to be a member of the cabin crew, either that or she enjoys dressing up as an air-hostess. Whoosh!

Another triple-play to start the month here at AllBum.Art. We kind of like the original album cover artwork for Use Your Imagination by Mud, as that is clearly the instructions that they gave to their designer. On the first remix, we are to us our imagination to guess what happens next. On the second remix, we are to use our imagination to guess what lies underneath. Little imagination was used by the designers of this remix (sorry Petey). Guesswork!

When you issue an instruction such as Strip Me, as Natasha Bedingfield has done, you would expect the front cover of the album to allude in some way or other to the act of stripping. On the original artwork we don't find any evidence of this. On the remix, something not at all unexpected has happened. Some babe was walking through a builders yard singing the song and the construction workers took her instruction way too literally. Rewind!

Keep Your Hands Off Her, that is what The Black Keys are telling you to do. They seem quite serious about this as on the original single front cover artwork there is a gun and with the whispy lines around it, it may have already been fired. On the remix is a babe who tried to get hands kept off her, but seems to have failed. She is being held aloft by three guys who seem to be more interest in something that is going on in the distance than what is right in front of them. Bang!

How can you show your face when you're a disgrace to the human race? That's what Madness sing in their single Embarassm.. nope, we mean Embarrasm... no that's not right either. Is it one 'r' and two 's's or what? Oh, right, it's two 'r's and two 's's, so it's called Embarrassmment then? No, only one 'm'. We give up. Anyhow the girl on the remix is clearly embaras.. whatever.. about her situation as she seems to have lost most of her clothing and is standing around on a table in the middle of a bar. Shy!

A wop bop a loo bop, a wop bam boo. That has nothing to do with Feel by Robbie Williams but then again nor does the original single cover artwork which shows what we can only presume to be Mr Williams surrounded by lighted hoops and standing on a road, or something like that. On the remix a more mature babe is standing in a shop, with her goods on display and the shopkeeper is having a feel of one of her juicy pair. There is even a free phone and a copy of People magazine. Yep, they have nothing to do with it either. Coat!
