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

Another remix for Cliff Richard but this time with a Halloween theme. Mr Richard sings about a Devil Woman, but the cover of his single shows only Mr Richard singing about a devil woman. There's no indication of who the woman might be or what about her it is that makes her so devilish. In the remix we see the devil woman. She is clearly a woman and has horns, which must be why Mr Richard thought she was Ms Satan. Sadly for Mr Richard, it's just a dressing up outfit and Ms Satan is probably an angel in disguise. Presley!

What can be said about the original single front cover artwork for Dust In The Wind by Kansas? It seems to feature a half woman, half bird, half brass creature in front of a circular dust storm. It makes complete sense, that is, if your idea of sense is nonsensical nonsense sense. On the remix we find a babe who is not made of dust, but whose dress has blown up in the wind. There's nothing particularly dusty about that. Meh!

One should never speak ill of the dead, or so they say, but with the month of October beckoning, perhaps pointing out the glaring mistake in the cover of their single is permissible. The cover of Fuck Me Pumps by the now deceased Amy Winehouse shows Ms Winehouse lounging around but, and here's the missing bit, her pumps are not easy to discern given the position she is sitting in. In the remix we see a babe who has taken the title more than literally and seems to be trying to fuck a pair of pumps. Screw!

Always nice to receive a well thought through remix from someone who is clearly a bit mad. Dave Wilson of London, England has sent us this remix of the single Jackie by Scott Walker. Dave takes up the story:

Jackie was the name of a pirate radio station in the 1980s in London and used this song as their theme. As a boy listening to the radio I often dreamed about what Jackie must look like and was disappointed when I saw the cover of the song and found that Jackie was not there. I always imagined here as being a swash-buckling sea-wench and when I saw your site it inspired me to rekindle my childhood fantasies and do a remix.

Nothing mad there, you might think. But then again, you might not think, and that would be mad. A-harrr!

Continuing in the 'rain' series, here's a remix of I Wish It Would Rain Down by Phil Collins. On the original single cover we see Mr Collins looking like he was hoping to go on a picnic but that the rain stopped him and he's irked. Now the shame of it is that on the remix we can see what awaited him at the picnic had he bothered to get a plastic mac and head out into the storm. Anyone got a picnic basket they don't mind getting wet? Yogi!

Here we are again with another dreary song by Travis. And accompanying their melancholy, downbeat performance is the cover of a single that could have been made by a 10 year old with no idea of art. Thankfully the remix shows something more akin to the ethos of the song. A sexy babe in a see through dress. Does her love come through? It certainly looks like it does. Opaque!

You know, one of the most popular remixes of cover artwork on the AllBum.Art web-site is the remix of Frank Sinatra's Come Fly With Me, so when remixing the erstwhile Mr Sinatra's songs, there's some big boots to fill. Here we present our remix of Fly Me To The Moon (originally known as In Other Words). On the original we see old blue-eyes a-grinnin' in the front of the silvery moon. On the remix we see a hot babe in latex who looks like she could pilot our starship any day. Lift-off!

Anyone For Tennis? A cry that goes out through the ages to those who enjoy that kind of racket (see what we did there). Cream sang about this in 1968. But, and here's the rub, the cover of their single, singularly fails to sing or even hum anything that is connected with the ancient and vaguely incomprehensible sport of tennis. We see the band members, lazing around in denim jackets. This balls-up is corrected in the remixed cover with the net result being a cute tennis babe who, if she uttered the phrase 'anyone for tennis' would certainly attract more love than the members of the band would have. Deuce!

Who would have believed that a band as obscure as Visage would merit a remix of their single covers here at AllBum.Art? But here we are with a remix of the cover artwork for their single Night Train. The original cover shows the lead singer (Steve Strange no less) standing around in black and white. So it might be night, but where's the train Steve? The remix shows a hot babe who is clearly dressed for the night (you don't go out in the day in nothing more than stockings, lingerie and a long black coat) and about to board a train. We think Mr Strange would approve of the remix, do you? Steaming!

As if yesterday's remix wasn't going far enough back in time, we delve even deeper into the depths for today's. The Sun Has Got His Hat on was performed by Ambrose And His Orchestra in, wait for it, 1932! The original cover shows a pin-up girl of the era on a beach holding her sun hat so as to cover her particulars. The remix shows much the same thing, just zazzed up to be more 21st century. Hip hip hip hooray!
