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

Good ole Shakin' Stevens and his aimless cover artwork. On the original single cover for Green Door, we find Mr Stevens loafing around in a white jacket and black shirt. No sign of the green door though. On the remix we find a babe who is standing in a green doorway. Sadly we can't see much about her as the lighting in the green doorway is not that good, but what we can see would make it tempting enough to turn the light on and find out more. Or just go through the green door. Handle!

Another remix for New Kids On The Block as they stylize themselves. On the original cover artwork for Cover Girl, we find the band members looking royally bored in a small square. On the remix we find a cover girl who is covering herself (but not making that good of a job of it). But the boys are still looking as bored as ever. Maybe they are stuck inside the box and can't get out to help the cover girl cover herself. All very mysterious. Cubic!

This remix of Brick House by Commodores was sent to us by regular contributor Phil Darnall of Great Britain. Phil says:

This song is about a woman so big, they sing about her being a brick house. In England we use the term brick shit house. Either way, the original cover doesn't show any house. On the remix I have put a big boobed woman (BBW) who could be either a brick house or a brick shit house, or just shit, all descriptions seem equally appropriate.

We can see that. Thanks for the remix Phil. Blubberly!

Another remix for Maximo Park. On the original single cover artwork of Books From Boxes, we find a man and a woman who appear to be whispering to each other. Maybe that is because they are in a library with books, but that is not evident from the grey background. On the remix we find a babe standing next to a bookshelf. She appears to have take the books out of the boxes and put them on a shelf. She also appears to have done this wearing nothing more than bright pink stiletto heel boots. Librarian!

We give almost full marks to The Cure for the original single cover artwork for A Forest, as it clearly illustrates a forest. So why, then, would we at AllBum.Art wish to remix it. Simply because we had this really great picture of a naked babe in a forest and we could think of no better single to use it with. Her magenta stilettos also contrast with the verdant forest, conjuxticating the ethereal with the turgid. Or something like that. Arty!

Another remix for Pink Floyd and this time it is of the original cover artwork of their single When The Tigers Broke Free. On the original cover we find someone screaming. Perhaps when the tigers broke free they caused such an uproar. On the remix we find a babe sitting on a tiger skin rug. After the tigers broke free they were obviously killed and made into rugs for naked babes. Roar!

What is In Your Car? More importantly what is in Kenickie's car? Quite obviously, from the original single cover artwork, what is in Kenickie's car is the band members themselves, though in cartoon format. And the car is toony too. On the remix we find what we would like to find in our car (and maybe you would like to find in your car too), that is a babe wearing nothing other than a smile and her stiletto heels. Drive!

So there are Nine Million Bicycles (in China) according to Katie Melua. However we are meant to infer this by the fact, presumably, that on the original single cover artwork there is a photo of Ms Melua squatting down in an abandoned warehouse. Is the warehouse in China? Maybe. On the first of today's triple-play remix, we find a cute asian babe riding a bicycle. Is this one of the nine million in China? On the second remix we find the same asian babe on the same bike, but this time her clothes appear to have dissolved. Must have been all the pollution in China. Cough!

Walk Through The Fire is what Peter Gabriel tells us to do in his single taken from the film Against All Odds. But on the original cover artwork all we can see is Mr Gabriel smiling. What is he smiling at? Maybe what's making him have such a grin on his face is what is shown on the remix, which is to say a naked babe walking through fire. Maybe it isn't that, but it sure makes for a better cover. Improve!

Does the picture of Lee Ryan on the original front cover single artwork make you think that you need to Turn Your Car Around? Or does it make you think that he could have done a lot better with his cover design? We think the latter, and so the remix provides a proper excuse to reverse the direction of your automobile, that is because some hot stocking-clad babe is telling you to. Whip!
