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

As Halloween is just a week away, we thought we would bring you a whole week of Halloween remixes. Kicking off the week is Walking Dead by Puressence. The original cover for their single shows the back of a stone warthog (isn't that the one from Hogwarts?). But it's not walking and although it's made of stone, it is meant to represent a live warthog, not a dead one. On the remix we find a babe who has awoken from the dead and is walking out of the coffin where she normally resides. Spooky!

Ask yourself... What would the cover of a single called The Bartender And The Thief look like? According to the Stereophonics, it looks like a blurred speeding red lorry. According to us, it looks like a thief in overalls is stealing the clothes from a busty barmaid in yellow high heels. Now, as yourself, which of these better reflects the title of the song? Go on, ask yourself. Do you know the answer? Winner!

Let's Change Clothes, or at least that is what Jay-Z would have us do. To help us with this, he has provided us with a threatening stance which is less encouragement and more coercion. That may explain why the babe on the remix is having so much trouble with his instructions. She has clearly acted too quickly and attempted to change her trousers without taking off her high heels. Now she is stumped as she does not know how to complete the instructions. Forced!

You'll Never Know anything about the song if the only information from Hi-Gloss that you had to go on was the cover of their single. Well, perhaps you would know that there was a babe painted in hi-gloss paint. The remix, to be fair, doesn't really help. All that we have done is taken a step backwards to survey the scene from a wider perspective. What is revealed is no more informative, sadly. Perspective!

What does Another Day In Paradise look like? If we are to believe the cover of Phil Collins' single, it looks like a monochrome, sullen experience. No! That's not what another day in paradise looks like. It looks like a sunny beach with a blue sky and golden sand. And to make it paradise a hot naked babe is waiting on a bench for you. Now that's paradise. Eden!

So, where do we start with the original cover of Oblivious by Aztec Camera? For starters, the girl may be oblivious to something, but what it is that she is oblivious to? And is she Aztec? Well she may be but then again, she could just be wearing a vaguely south American scarf. Thank goodness, then, for the remix in which we find a babe who is oblivious to the fact that her naked body is being espied by a dude peering at her from behind her bedroom door. Unbeknownst!

A triple-play from The Selecter as we remix their 70's ska classic, On My Radio. On the original cover we find the band members in their two-tone outfits singing on a stage. Maybe this is being broadcast on the radio, maybe it isn't. On the first remix we find a babe who may be broadcasting on the radio, there's certainly the right amount of faders in front of her. On the final remix we find two babes being interviewed on Howard Stone's radio program, so definitely on the radio. Transmit!

Two in a row (that's the whole weekend) for UB40. On the original cover for Rat In Mi Kitchen, we find a red and yellow rat with a black and white tail, sniffing around the name of the band. But where is the kitchen? On the remix we find a babe who is trying to catch a rat that has been let loose in her kitchen, who, it seems, has managed to chew off all of her clothes (except her heels oddly). Let's hope she catches it soon before it chews anything else. Pinch!

Another remix for those reggae rebels UB40. The original cover artwork for Red Red Wine shows the band posing for the camera (that old thing again). But there is no wine anywhere. On the remix we find three babes, each with a glass of red wine in their hand. It seems they may have had a little too much wine already as at least two of them have neglected to remember to dress properly for the camera. Vino!

You don't get much for 10c, but if you ask The Flirts, this is the going rate for a dance with the, or at least it is if the title of their album 1c A Dance is to be believed. On the remix we find a much more realistic situation based on inflation and today's paid dancing sector, as a babe is available to dance for you but clearly at a much higher rate running into several dollars, if not tens of dollars. Maybe $10 a dance is more realistic? Expensive!
