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

On the original cover of Streets Of Your Town by Australian artist The Go-Betweens, we find a man and what looks like his wife and child. He is holding up a bottle of what looks like milk, and his wife is carrying a picnic basket. This might be a typical street scene in Australia but it looks nothing like the streets of our town. The remixed artwork shows a scene far more common on the streets of this country. A naked babe walking around at night. Amber!

Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree.
It's been 3 long years,
Do you still want me?

Is what the words of this famous song by Dawn Featuring Tony Orlando state. If no yellow ribbons are tied around the tree, the guy will stay on the bus and forget about us. So here we find that not only has the girl tied a yellow ribbon around the tree, but has shackled herself to it as well. Extra!

When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman, it gets hard. That's what Dr Hook told us back in 1979. They do not indicate what gets hard, though it does not take much imagination to work out what they might have meant. The original cover sees the band standing around looking at something, but whatever it is they are looking at is as elusive as the question of what gets hard. In the remix, it seems that both these problems are resolved satisfactorily as it seems they are looking at a beautiful woman. The hard bit... you work it out. Heartfelt!

An odd one this. T-Ara (pronounced like a tiara) are a Japanese J-Pop girl band. On the cover of their song Lead The Way (LA'booN) we see the six band members standing around looking pretty. Not much to beat that. Except the remix which shows five similar looking girls (though not the same girls) also looking pretty. Pretty naked. Does that beat the original cover? Probably not but who cares? Japan!

Not strictly a single, but a track from Nicki Minaj's album The Pink Print, Grand Piano is a laid back track not reminiscent of her usual upbeat stuff. As it's an album track, there is no original cover but we very much liked this one produced by Creat1ve. The remix adds a dash of color and a glimpse of ass which we think Ms Minaj would appreciate, even in her quieter moments. Glint!

Another idea for a remix sent in by Scott of Orlando, FL. This time, Scott says, 'I wonder what you'll make of Laid by James'. The original cover shows the members of the band, standing around in some very floral get-ups, verging on the transvestite. So what have we made on the remix? Well, we thought that James sounded like the name of a butler and that there should be a babe who is laid-out. Amazingly we had just the right picture as you can see. James, on the other hand, appears not to be looking. Professionalism!

In a way, it's nice that You Caught My Eye, says Judy Boucher. Because if you hadn't then the cover of the single would have forever remained very un-eye-catching. The original cover shows Ms Boucher as she would look drawn by chalk and charcoal by an imbecile. In the remix we see a babe that is very eye-catching. The fact that she is apparently standing stark naked on a city street, nonchalantly smoking a cigarette might just have something to do with that. Iris!

Whoa! Something very special to get February off to a happy start. Four remixes of the cover of Country Life by Roxy Music. The original is the one on the top left and shows two babes: one in see-through white lingerie and the other in black panties but no bra, trying to cover their decency with their hands.

The first three remixes (top row and the one immediately to the right of this text with the two ebony babes) are actually attempts by other people (not AllBum.Art) to re-pose this iconic album cover.

The final remix (bottom right) is also by two babes who are trying to re-pose for a remake of the cover but have got it very badly wrong. They have forgotten the lingerie, their pose is all wrong, and their hands are covering up (or not covering up) the wrong parts of their bodies. At least they got the pine trees right. Fail!

You Spin Me Round (Like A Record), says Dead Or Alive. But on the cover of their single the only thing that might cause a spin is the amount of make up that the lead singer is wearing. It was the 1980s mind, when such ostentatious looks were all the rage. Anyhow, the remix shows an 80s babe with a record. Now if only she would spin round we could see whether she is deadly. From behind, it looks like she could be. Alive!

A nice try by Boss Hog on the cover of their 2000 comeback album Whiteout. A skinny babe (the lead songstress) standing in skimpy white lackluster underwear with her hand on her hip, posing but looking bored doing it. 6 out of 10 for effort. In the remix a somewhat curvier babe is standing holding onto a fence wearing white. But not white underwear, oh no, a see-through white gown that leaves nothing much to the imagination. Bleach!
