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

You may have noticed that the guys here at AllBum.Art have a number of favorite topics when it comes to remixing single and album artwork, in particular angels, and people caught in the rain. So they jumped at the chance to remix Walking In The Rain by Modern Romance (and not because it had an angel in it!) On the original cover, there is no evidence of any walking, but they have tipped their hat at the rain with an umbrella in the background. On the remix we find a babe walking in the rain. Could it be any more straightforward than that? Splash!

It is feasible, we suppose, that when La Roux put together the original single cover artwork for In For The Kill, they thought that some dry ice and an aging sports car would suffice to give the impression of menace. On the remix we find a babe who is far less subtle in her murderous intentions as she is pointing a great big gun at someone or something, thankfully not at us. Why it is raining purple raindrops is not clear, perhaps this is on another planet. Alien!

Another remix for British mod band, The Jam that has been submitted by Mr Confiture of England (not his real name we suspect) who has sent us his versions of Eton Rifles. Mr C tells us that:

Eton is a posh place where toffs go to school, so if it has rifles they would be held by posh women drinking wine in the countryside.

Thanks for the geography lesson Mr C and thanks for the remix too, we like your style. Double-barreled!

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!

We are not quite sure what the Bee Gees were thinking with their original cover artwork, unless they were thinking that showing a fish-eye distorted picture of the band members standing around by a palm tree in front of a white building somehow reflected the title of the album. On the remix we find that a man is measuring the size of a babe's boobs (which seem to be 44 inches) and, to be fair, in this picture, it is the size which draws your eyes and so maybe size is everything after all. Whoppers!

It seems that a lot of dance music (EDM) acts including 8 Wonders who, for their original single cover artwork, came up with nothing more inventive than showing the title of the song, the name of the band, and the logo of the record company. On the remix, we find a babe who has clearly had a bit of a heavy night, and on the morning after, is taking a bath to soothe her weary bones. In full make-up. Relaxing!

While we're remixing single artwork from 5 Seconds Of Summer, here's another one for She's Kinda Hot. On the original cover, the only 'she' that is visible is a cheerleading fox with crossed out eyes. All very confusing. On the remix is an older babe who normally wouldn't turn the band's eyes, but as she is hanging naked from a door frame in a summer hat, she could be said to be kinda hot. Maybe!

According to 5 Seconds Of Summer, She Looks So Perfect, but we can't see on the single cover artwork, who she is, and why they would think she looks so ideal. On the remix, the missing part of the original picture has been added in and we find that she looks almost perfect, bending over the speaker in front of the band with her ass in the air. Did you spot the difference? Perfection?

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!

A Flock Of Seagulls bring us a song called Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You), but they also bring us an original single front cover whose artwork shoes an empty photo frame and a vase of roses. What they obviously needed was someone to take a photograph for them, so that they could put it in the frame. On the remix is a babe who could have done that for them. In fact, the photograph of the babe herself would be more than good enough for their empty photo frame. Snap!
