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

Another remix for Teena Marie and this time she is telling us that I Need Your Lovin' (which we translate as meaning that she needs our lovin'). To give credit where it's due, Ms Marie does look a little needy on the original single front cover artwork. On the remix, the level of neediness has been wound up a notch, as the babe shown standing by a window (and a radiator) looks as if she was ready for lovin' but has been let down and is wondering when her lover will arrive. Better luck next time, eh? No-show!

Teena Marie tells us that she is Naked To The World. But on the original cover artwork for her album and single of the same name, she is clearly fully clothed, not naked. And where is the world to be found? On the remix is a babe who is naked and what's more, she is standing in front of a large crowd of people who we shall, for the sake of this remix, call the world at large. Unlike the original artist, she is then naked to the world, and sanity has been restored. Pavement!

Another remix for Simply Red and this time for their song Fake. Interestingly, on the original single front cover artwork all we can see is the lead singer of the band. Is he a fake? Is her perhaps not simply red, but more colors as well? On the remix is a babe who appears to be fake in several bodily departments. Is she also red, simply? Well she is standing against a red background. Does that make her a simply red fake? More than the original cover picture, that much is simply sure. Easy!

It must be unfortunate for The Modern, because Jane Falls Down. This couldn't be clearer from the picture on the original front cover artwork, where it is completely apparent that there is a postage stamp with a picture of the band on it, and the band's name spelled out with an Etch-A-Sketch. On the remix is a babe who has fallen down and in the process it seems her her dress may have fallen down too. She probably shouldn't wear high heels like that in a park. Denim!

The question being asked today by Sultans Of Ping FC is Where's Me Jumper? On the original single front cover artwork, this question is answered by a young boy sitting in bed with his hands over his ears. It's clearly a metaphor, as there is no jumper to be seen. On the remix we find a jumper that is being partly worn by a babe who seems to be a little too hot, as she is considering taking it off. That is where my jumper is. Sweater!

Another remix for The Wedding Present, and to day it is the turn of their single Silver Shorts. On the original front cover artwork is the number 4 and what looks like the background to some bad pixelated 1980s video game but nothing silver, and no shorts. What is it that they were thinking about when they put that one together? On the remix is a babe wearing, guess what... silver shorts. Could it have been any easier to remix this cover? No!

Seamonsters (whoooo, splash). It is an album by The Wedding Present. That has to be stated as the original album cover artwork just shows a number of red < V > type signs floating around on a dark background. On the remix we see two real life seamonsters, who have decided to take a splash about in the sea. Don't get too close because if they start moving too quickly, a vortex will form and you will be lost at sea forever. Whoooo.

Foals have at least attempted to represent the title of their song Balloons using an illustration of air filled flowery cloth on the original front cover artwork for their single. Black clouds seem to be floating around amidst the balloons, or are they meant to be some other kind of airborne thing. The remix simply shows a babe, holding some balloons, nothing more complicated than that. If only everything in life was so simple. Hot air!

Is The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy) the longest title for a song here at AllBum.Art? Without going through each on and checking, we may never know. The band concerned, Harpers Bizarre don't seem phased by the length of the title on the original single front cover artwork, standing around a lamp-post. On the remix we find a babe standing underneath a bridge who seems equally unfazed even though there are large holes in her dress. Balustrade!

What would you expect to find on the original single front cover artwork for Shoes (Johnny And Louise) by Reparata? Perhaps some shoes? Well that is precisely what you do find though the aforementioned shoes appear to be floating in the sky. It was the 1970s after all. On the remix is a babe standing on one leg in some very high heeled shoes. It is a wonder that she can keep her balance at all, though perhaps that is why there are cushions behind her. Stork!
