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

Feeling unwell in the love department? At a loss how to cure a broken heart? You need the services of Dr Love (or at least that is what Tina Charles should have sung). The question is whether Ms Charles appears in one of these predicaments on the cover of her single. Perhaps she does as she is looking a little forlorn. On the remix we find Dr Love in action, using his advanced medical skills to try and cure a babe of her illness. That, or he's just an old lech. Cure!

Some songs beg a good remix purely for asking questions that are then not fully answered by the cover of the single, and this is one of those. The cover for Can You Handle It by Sharon Redd shows Ms Redd, but fails to address the question of what it is that we have to determine can, or can not, be handled. The remix shows a brunette asking (you can tell she is puzzled through the look in her eyes), a blonde, whether she can handle it. It seems the blonde herself has a lot to handle but the brunette has even more. Question!

We have taken a little poetic license in producing the remix of Love Is A Stranger by the Eurythmics. In replacing the two weird looking singers of the band, we have used an image that would more accurately fit if the title was 'love is stranger', as we find a babe whose boobs appear constricted, wearing shoes with such a high heel that she couldn't possibly walk any distance in them, having her leg examined by a guy in a black mask. Stranger!

Yeah, baby, Get Down on that funk-jive master-beat. At least that's how radio DJs of the 1970s introduced Gene Chandler's single. The original cover has the heel of a high heel shoe and what might be a pair of glasses, or a bra (it's difficult to tell) silhouetted against a deep red and pink background. All we, at AllBum.Art have done is added in a bunny girl getting down, or at least bending down to remove her panties. How's that for 1970s funk-jive? Down-pop!

When The Pretenders sang I'll Stand By You, did they stop to think about what to put on the cover of their single? It seems not, as the picture they chose is of the lead singer standing looking glum holding her guitar. Who is she standing by? The remix solves this problem as a guy stands by his babe. He needs to because she does not seem to be wearing any clothes and will need to fend off over-interested onlookers. On Guard!

Where is Planet Love? According to DJ Quicksilver it is a roiling ball of lava deep in space. Most of us would equate the planet of love as being Venus, however, as this is the most widely recognized planet with love-based credentials. So let us take a look at the surface of planet love and see if we can find out why it gets its reputation. On the remix we can see a babe strung out across the ultra-hot surface (making her ultra-hot too). Now the credentials become clear. Sulfur!

Another triple-play from us here at AllBum.Art from those burly Brits, M People and their surly song Sight For Sore Eyes. (Note: they aren't really burly and the song isn't surly but the alliteration sounded nice!) What it is about the original cover that would make a sight for sore eyes is not clear, but on the two remixes there are things which definitely sooth the optic organs. (Enough with the alliteration already). Surprise!

Agadoo doo doo, push pineapple, shake the tree. Now come on, Black Lace, what exactly were you on when you put the lyrics for this song together? It certainly wasn't just pineapple juice. For the remix, and as we have absolutely no idea whatsoever what an agadoo is, we have instead focused on the black lace and replaced the original picture of the two wet gits with their curly girly hair with two hot babes wearing black lace. Fitting!

It looks like Randy Phillips of England has been a busy boy, as he as sent us his remix of National Express by The Divine Comedy. Randy tells us:

National Express is a coach company in the UK that people use to get from city to city, which is why the babe on the remix is standing on the aisle of a bus.

That makes sense, and explains the nature of the remix. The wheels on that bus certainly go round!

A trancey-trancey-bang-bang-breakdown-party type song, Daybreaker by Kenny Hayes is the kind of music you hear at a German nightclub, on a pirate radio station, or when you accidentally tune into MTV Dance. The cover does reflect, in an orange and yellow way, a daybreak, but the remix takes this to a more warming, solar-infused rendition as a babe leaves the nightclub after listening to trancey-trancey-bang-bang-breakdown-party music all night and forgets to put her clothes back on (because all of those clubs require you to be naked, right?) Arpeggio!
