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

Time for a remix for San Francisco/L.A. rockers Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Their single Spread Your Love is just asking for a special AllBum.Art remix, especially as the original cover is so incredibly dull. The difficulty with finding a picture of a sexy babe to which the phrase Spread Your Love applies but without it breaking the AllBum.Art rules of indecency is tough, but success comes in the form of a gymnastic contortionist who is spreading her love very widely indeed, of that there is no question!

A second cover remix for NYC's very own Lenny Kravitz. The original cover for Fly Away shows Mr Kravitz in a very pouty pose. Now perhaps he is expecting this pose to somehow provide him with some means of becoming airborne, but otherwise there's nothing to indicate exactly how, or why, he want's to fly. In the remix we see a hapless babe who is obviously trying to fly (note the attempt at using her arms as wings) and for obvious reasons... she is standing naked in the middle of the street and needs to get somewhere less public quickly.

Interesting that an artist as respected as Eminem should have a cover for his single Cleanin' Out My Closet that misses one very very important element, and that is any evidence of actual cleaning going on. Of course someone as rich as Mr Mathers no doubt employs other people to do his cleaning and maybe he was embarrassed to admit this and so left the cleaner out of the picture. Thankfully, the original picture has been reinstated and we can now see what is really going on. Did you expect anything less?

Another submission from a fan of the site (if 'fan' and 'this site' aren't inherently contradictory). This comes from Alan Morris from Manchester in the UK. Alan says,

Goody Two Shoes is a song that has always held a special meaning for me. I met my first love when this was playing at a disco and she had the most amazingly sexy legs and shoes. So a remix to remind me of those days seemed necessary. But don't tell the wife!

OK Alan, we won't say a word!

Love Song For A Vampire was written by Annie Lennox (better known as the lead singer of electropopsters Eurythmics for the film Dracula. To be fair, the cover does a reasonable job, showing, as it does, Ms Lennox in vampy make-up. We thought we could do better though and have replaced Ms Lennox with a modern take on Lucy Westenra. Don't know who she is? Time to brush up on your classic literature!

How do we keep up the dismal quality that is the hallmark of this web-site? By finding weird pictures of cute babes and then infusing them with a special kind of blurriness and then adding them, sub-consciously into the cover of a track. That's how this one came about. Pulling Mussels (From The Shell), blurred with a picture of a naked babe holding that shell, all Squeezed together in 600 by 600 pixels. Let's just say 'Blantyre' and leave it at that for now...

This 1996 song from British band Oasis has probably one of the worst covers that we at AllBum.Art have seen. Are the band members there? No. Is there anything that relates to the title of the song, like a back, or someone who is angry? No. Damn good job that we go our hands on it then and came up with this remix in which a babe is looking back and not doing so in anger, but more a kind of pensive melancholy that is just highly appropriate for the song.

Another cover art remix prompted by a picture rather than by the song. What could be more normal than a woman standing at a Bus Stop with her panties around her ankles? Where on earth did these pinup artists get their ideas. Regardless, it's a good chance for a remix of a golden oldie, in this case a song from The Hollies whose original cover was OK but has no bus stop in it, natch.

Despite not being a big hit in the charts, Somebody Else's Guy by Jocelyn Brown is one of those songs you just can't help bobbing along to. The remix of the cover is just simply pulling open the blinds of the original cover to reveal the girl behind. With the blinds open we can see that she is rather hot, though her temperature will no doubt be lowered by the sparsity of clothing that she's wearing.

One of those 1970s soul classics, Float On by The semi-eponymous Floaters has a really terrible cover. That's not to say that a picture of the band isn't a credible attempt, but boys, please, the name of the band and the name of the song involve floating, so where's the floatiness? The answer is in the remix where we see a hot chick floating on a swimming pool. The odd thing is that she has left her heels on. Float on...
