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

Whoa - this is going way back in time to 1953 - for the remix of the original cover artwork for She Wears Red Feathers (And A Huly-Huly Skirt) by Guy Mitchell. On the original cover we find Mr Mitchell smiling nonchalantly but no sign of anyone wearing any kind of feathers or huly skirt. On the remix we find a babe who is wearing lots of red feathers and if that is what counts as a huly-huly skirt, it's no wonder it didn't make the original cover in 1953. Scarlet!

When Michael Bolton put together the original cover artwork for his album Vintage, it seems that his one guiding principle was to ensure that his face was front and center, no doubt reflecting his aging years and vintage status. Or perhaps the album was meant to be called Visage, not Vintage. Anyhow, on the remix we find a babe in vintage lingerie standing in front of a vintage automotive traction vehicle. Definitely vintage and not visage. Retro!

We can see what 10cc were trying to do with the original album cover artwork for Sheet Music, as they have pulled in the border surrounding the picture of the band members into the middle of the cover to make it look as if it is a sheet. Nice try. On the remix we just find a babe resting underneath a sheet, ready, or so it would seem, to make sweet music, though we can't see what instrument she plays. Flute!

Apparently, Love Comes Quickly when you wear a hat with the word 'Boy' on it, at least that is what the original single cover artwork by the Pet Shop Boys tells us. On the remix, not a great deal has changed, except that instead of there being a boy wearing a hat with the word boy on it, it's now a babe who has her baseball cap on. It seems her t-shirt may also have the word boy on it, but it's difficult to read as she has it pulled up to reveal her stomach. Tummy!

It seems, if the original single cover artwork for Lethal Industry by DJ Tiesto is to be believed, that what proves deadly in an industrial environment is some hand-scrawled words on a page full of red and yellow blobs. On the remix we find an alternative view, and we can immediately see the danger. Some babe, who has forgotten her hard hat and other protective gear, is trying to turn a valve that will release deadly high pressure steam at her, and boil her on the spot. Danger!

Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey) is a song by De La Soul (talk about stating the obvious). The original single cover artwork suggests that the ring in question is one on the telephone. The remix suggests that the ring in question is possibly a wedding (or engagement) ring, as we find a bride gazing longingly into the distance with a large diamond ring sitting right in front of her. Maybe she has forgotten her contact lenses and can't see it. Hypermetropic!

It's October, so what more would you want to do with your days than become and October Swimmer, at least that is what JJ72 tell us. Sadly whilst they tell us that, they don't show us, as on the original single cover artwork we find just a blur of sludge. On the remix we find a babe who is swimming in October, and we know this because of the lovely sunset. Descending!

Another X-rated remix, this time for Alisha's Attic and their song Push It All Aside. On the original single front cover artwork we can see the two band members (called Alisha and Attic?) sitting with their backs against a cupboard on a wooden floor, but what is being pushed aside? On the remix some babe has decided to push it all aside and show us her own attic. Thinking about it, it's not at all clear that she is pushing it aside all by herself, she could have handy assistance. Aside from that, it's definitely all pushed. Pink!

Mariah Carey is singing about My All, or her all, to put it in the correct grammatical arrangement. What her all is, though, is not clear as the original single front cover artwork only tells us that she is capable of standing close to a guy with long hair. The remi-xxx (or x-rated remix) shows a babe who seems to be indicating, through the judicious pulling aside of her panties, just what her all is. There not much left that her all could be, given that aside from her panties, she is only wearing high heel shoes. Total!

Nothing says Always Right Behind You like a large letter Z. At least that is what The Zutons must have been told by their marketing company when they asked them what to put on the original single front cover artwork. If they had asked us here at AllBum.Art we might have suggested a picture in which someone was standing behind someone else. To illustrate what we mean, we have provided a remix of the cover in which a young dude is standing behind a mature babe. Always!
