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

Firstly a note about apostrophes. Dexys Midnight Runners doesn't have one. This raises the question of whether the midnight runners belong to dexy, or whether dexys is an adjective of its own. Either way, the original single front cover artwork for Show Me doesn't really show anything. But don't fret, the remix resolves this as we find a babe who is showing you, and anyone else who'll watch what is not that well hidden behind her see-through dress. Don't!

It's good that Jaheim has organized things so that if there is a problem he will be there Just In Case. There is is on the original single front cover artwork with his bandana and silver chain. Do you feel comforted by this? Or would you prefer to be with the babes on the remix who are carrying what looks like a case of beer. What is just in the case might be beer, what is just outside the case are two naked babes on a sunny beach. You can choose.

When Will Young sings a song called Leave Right Now, it might be expected that on the original single front cover artwork there would be something that might wish you to leave, and do it now, rather than his enstubbled face. On the remix is a babe who appears to be undressing. She could very much be regarded as being ugly and not just a little bit hairy. You can stay around to see what happens next if you want, but we shall take up Mr Young's advice and leave. Right now!

What would you expect to find when looking at the front cover artwork for the single Flowers In December by Mazzy Star? Perhaps it would be a fuzzy, almost shriveled looking flower head, after all it is usually cold in December. Or would it be, as shown on the remix, two babes out and about in the snow wearing nothing other than fur coats. Maybe both are valid visions of flowers, maybe not. Floral!

What is Good Enough for Dodgy? According to their original single cover artwork, a sunflower is good enough for them. Fair enough. On the remix we find a babe who appears to have made an attempt to trim her bush and is showing it to someone in a way that begs the question, is it good enough. The question then becomes, good enough for what? Without knowing what the aim of her trimming exercise was, it's difficult to answer the question as to whether it is good enough or not. Fuzz[/fuzz]!

John Parr is apparently not just naughty, but Naughty Naughty (is that double naughty?) Peering at us from over the collar of his leather jacket as he appears on the original single front cover artwork, he looks more cheeky than naughty. On the remix we find one babe who appears to be chastising another for being naughty, naughty, whipping her with her school tie in the classroom. Naughty!

Apparently, Frankie Goes To Hollywood are Watching The Wildlife. We know this because on the original single front cover artwork, there is a picture of a panda's eye with an inset picture of the panda's head. Though furry Panda's might still be wild in some parts of the world, it is not completely clear whether the one pictured is. On the remix is a babe who is standing in the wild, with an inset of her equally furry wildlife. The band may not have been watching this particular scene, but we think you would be, rather than the panda. Monochrome!

Let's take a look at what's going on here. The Super Furry Animals decided that the best artwork for the front cover of their album would be some bad passport photos of various 70s throwbacks. Maybe that is Fuzzy Logic to them, but not to us. Our logic also failed us which is why there are two remixes, making this a triple-play. On the first remix there is a babe whose logic is definitely furry and fuzzy. On the second remix a more mature babe is cupping her tits which, if she is trying to hide her embarrassment at being naked is silly as she is neither hiding her nipples nor covering her own fuzzy logic. Slamina!

The week may be over, but the weekend has just begun and to start it is yet another remix for this week's featured artist Shakatak. On the original album front cover for Drivin' Hard all we have to show for the driving is a freeway bridge. On the remix we find a babe who is driving hard, in fact so hard, that her nipples have gone hard. It must be quite hard for her to keep driving like that. Compass!

It's nice, sometimes, to be able to bring you remixes of tracks where even the original artwork is rare. Today it's the turn of Musique and their single In The Bush. It appears there are several meanings of the word 'bush' and on the original cover it seems to mean 'piece of land in the middle of nowhere' (as in the Australian bush). On the remix the meaning has been changed to 'hairy female parts' and we find a babe who has, for some reason, let her bush grow and then put her clothes over it, in her bush so to speak. Outback!
