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

Ooh, an Evil Woman. That's what the Electric Light Orchestra are singing about. Sadly, the cover of their single shows a load of hirsute 1970s style men. Oh, you mean that's the band themselves - should have guessed. The remix shows a very evil woman. So evil in fact that she only needs to wear a hat and some black lipstick to show the extent of her evilness. Don't get too close as you might end up in a great deal of trouble. Warning!

Frank Sinatra's songs regularly make excellent sources for remixing covers here at AllBum.Art. His 1958 song Witchcraft is no exception. On the original cover artwork we see Mr Sinatra. That's it. Just Mr Sinatra. What isn't obvious is that even in the 1950s there were ways to erase parts of a picture (like we use Photoshop today) and so the remix is not a remix but just the original unadulterated picture. And what do you see? Witchcraft!

Now we kind of like the original cover for the song Devil by Stereophonics. They have tried to reflect the somewhat naughty nature of a devil by introducing what appears to be walls covered in multicolored slime and a babe whose provenance is questionable. As for the lipstick, that bit is not clear. But if we rearrange the contents of the original cover we could yield the remix which shows a babe whose provenance is questionable wearing lipstick and being a bit of a devil. Comprende?

In the run-up to Halloween, we thought we at AllBum.Art should provide a few remixes of the cover artwork of some Halloween Hits. We're beginning gently with this remix of a song by The Police of their song Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic. The original cover is a little mystical, perhaps. In the remix we see the magician who is casting her spells on the band. Is it any wonder that they were so entranced by her that they felt the need to write a song about it? Abracadabra!

Another viewer submitted entry, this time from Rosemary Kittle of Palm Bay, FL. Of her remix of My Generation by The Who she writes:

People think that us silver-surfers are just interested in vacations and pensions but many of us still enjoy a good time in the bedroom. My remix of the song shows how 'my generation' like to party!

We can see that Rosemary! If that is how your generation party, who are we to deny you a remix? Comfortable!

A first remix of a song by Maroon 5 here at AllBum.Art but not the first for Christina Aguilera. Moves Like Jagger tells the story of how the band's singer can perform like the old Rolling Stones frontman. But the cover does not demonstrate his skills in this regard. The remix shows a couple of babes, one of who looks frighteningly similar to the aforementioned Mr Jagger (if he had boobs) and both of who have moves worth watching. Show!

Now let's see what's going on here. In the original cover for the single Work by Kelly Rowland, we see Ms Rowland standing around in the nude, well except for some kind of silver decoration on her back. But no evidence of her doing any work. In the remix we see a babe who is clearly hard at work at a building site, along with a bunch of builders. But what exactly her work involves is not obvious as it seems to require her to be both naked, and sprawled, legs apart, across her work mates. Hi-viz!

Here we are with a remix of the cover art for Moving On Up my M People. On the original cover we see the frizzy haired lead singer of the band looking, if anything, very glum. Thankfully that can be resolved as we have done in the remix. On the remixed cover we see a similar looking babe with equally frizzy hair but whose dress seems to have 'moved on up'. In fact it's moved so far up that she really shouldn't go out in public. Short!

Sometimes, here at AllBum.Art we like to have a little fun. Well, when we say 'sometimes' we mean 'most of the time'. In that vain, when we saw the picture that we have used on the remixed cover of Sunday Girl by Blondie, Chas who deals with all the web-stuff said 'Hey, that's a Sundae Girl', referring to ice-cream sundaes. And so the remix was born - not strictly of a sunday girl, but of a sundae girl. Creamy!

Another remix for Jessie J, this time for her single It's My Party. On the original cover we see Ms J in five different poses but where's the party? There's no cake and no balloons. The remix corrects this fatal error and we find a babe who is having a great time at a party. How do we know she is at a party? On the one hand, there are dozens of balloons. On the other, she is wearing special party socks. But oddly, little else. Obvious!
