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

It's always good to receive a user submitted 'fanmade' entry. This one by The Matchroom Mob With Chas & Dave comes from Steve Virgo of Liverpool, England who says:

Snooker Loopy nuts are we is how the song goes, but who or what is nuts? On the remix I have put a sexy babe on the snooker table instead of the balls, which suits my nuts far better.

Thanks Steve, that makes about as little sense as the song itself. Cue!

You have to sigh a little when a band (in this case Hard-Fi) release a single called Tied Up Too Tight and on the cover have nothing other than a dirty van on it. What a missed opportunity for mayhem, an opportunity that we at AllBum.Art are not going to turn down. Open up the doors to that van and what do we have loitering in the back, why only a sexy babe who has obviously been tied up too tight. Obviously!

A song about the Thunderbirds, that wasn't in any way connected with the original series or the later movie might seem an odd theme for a song. International Rescue by Fuzzbox is such a song and the cover scores very highly in that it features a member of the band in an outfit that would befit a member of the international rescue team. The remix adds two large things. We'll leave you to work out which things they are...

Hey, Good Lookin' may be a single released by Hank Williams in 1951 but can still be heard on many a mid-west radio station and in karaoke bars across the nation to this day. This is because the title produces images of a good lookin' woman, and such images are timeless. Sadly the original cover doesn't produce such an image. The remix does though and answers the question on the second line of the song, 'what you got cookin'? To which the answer seems to be a raspberry tart...

We had an email from Timothy Blenkinsop-Smithe of Olde England who said:

Your web-site is replete with alternative artwork for very low-brow songs that should be in the gutter. You need to add some high-brow content to your site through classical music and opera.

Timothy sent us this remix for the soundtrack album of The Phantom Of The Opera as an illustration of what he called 'a more aesthetically blended visualization'. Whatever floats your boat Timothy!

An obscure song by an obscure band, the remix of Bathtime by Tindersticks was sent in by Ian Fleetwood of Nottingham, England. There's nothing wrong with remixing the cover artwork for obscure songs, especially if the title lends itself to it. In the original cover we see what exactly? In the remix we see a cute babe who seems to be planning to take a bath with her clothes, and mysteriously a hat, on. Or perhaps she is just about to get undressed. Now there's a thought!

Following our featured artist week of Duran Duran remixes, this cover for the single Union Of The Snake was submitted by Kinki Westin (surely not a real name!) of England, who says:

Your last Duran Duran remixes were rather vulgar and crude. Mine is classy, like the frame of a picture dabbed gregariously in lithe, unquenched ink.

Hmmm.. whatever that means is not clear, but thanks for the remix anyway Kinki. Slithery!

The second of this week's featured artist remixes comes from Prince And The Revolution. The original cover of (ne-me-ne-me-ne-me-ne-me-ne) Kiss has a black and white Mr Nelson posing in a kind of male Bolero top looking about as masculine as Homer Simpson in a tutu. The remix shows a sexy babe blowing a kiss. Ne-me-ne-me-ne-me-ne-me-ne to that!

The start of another of AllBum.Art's featured artist week begins with this remix of Cream by Prince And The New Power Generation. Unquestionably one of the most obvious remixes that has ever been attempted. Instead of a photo of Mr Nelson standing in a highly sexualized position over a babe lying on her back, we see some cream. Pourfect!

There is an obvious remix for any cover artwork for an album called Three Of A Perfect Pair, focusing, as would be expected, on the perfect pair analogy. But for this remix of the 1980s album by King Crimson, we have chosen a less beaten path and simply replaced the odd symbol with three babes, all of who have a perfect pair. Now that's what we call a remix. Sextuplet!
