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

Would you know it? The cover for Upside Down by Diana Ross is wrong in one extremely enormous way ... Ms Ross is the right way up! Thankfully this has been corrected in our first remix which shows Ms Ross the correct way around for this song. In our second remix, Ms Ross has been replaced by some odd babe who seems to insist on sitting on furniture in the way Ms Ross proposes, upside down. Each to their own, as someone very wise once said.

What could represent a Blue Hotel better than Chris Isaak wearing a white shirt and flowery jacket, holding onto an acoustic guitar? This is what the original single cover would have us believe. On the remix a babe walks out of a hotel, past a body guard who is there to protect her - you can see why. The whole thing is blue. Obviously this is what a real blue hotel looks like. Stay, why don't you!

Another foreign language remix for AllBum.Art. On the original front cover for Um (One) by Baby Do Brasil (a.k.a. Baby Consuelo) you will find Ms Cidade standing around with her guitar looking naked to the naked eye. Well, other than her gloves. On the remix Um becomes Duas as she is joined by an equally naked babe also holding an electric guitar. What point is there to any of this? That depends on your outlook. Copacabana!

Ah, so, today is is the turn of T-Ara to have their cover well and truly remixed. On the original single artwork the seven band members are pulling odd poses wearing black dresses and silver boots. On the remix, there are eight asian babes wearing no dresses and no boots. Which of these most represents sexy love? You can decide that for yourself, or as they say in the capital city of Korea, that's your Seoul decision. Pop!

What shall we do Tonight Josephine? Tape Five? If none of this makes any sense to you, it probably isn't meant to. The original artwork for the front cover of the album shows a vintage babe wearing retro lingerie, gloves and stockings sitting on a chair, all aged using sepia tones. The remix shows almost exactly the same thing except that Josephine's lingerie seems to have slipped revealing her bouncing bosom. The sepia tones persist. Flapper!

What, pray tell, is a Standing Hampton? According to Sammy Hagar, it seems to be represented by having a near naked babe sitting in the corner of a room, whilst a man in a suit and a bowler hat takes a good look at her. Alternatively, peer through the window and a different babe wearing only a red skirt is also being stared at by a man in a suit. On the remix, a different babe is standing in the corner of a room, and is being watched by a man in a hat. Is this what Mr Hagar really had in mind? Hampton!

The first time that AllBum.Art has remixed cover artwork for a song whose title is in a completely foreign language. On the original cover of Угонщица (Hijacker) by Ирина Аллегрова (Irina Allegrova) we find Ms Allegrova wearing a golden corset and black tights. If that is what hijackers look like in Russia then that explains a lot. On the remix is a different female hijacker with a machine gun and her face covered. Apart from her boots, though, that's the only part of her that is covered. Oбнаженный!

If ever a cover did nothing to reflect the name of a single, this has to be up there with the worst. The original cover of Short Skirt/Long Jacket by California alternative rock band Cake depicts a girl playing an accordion. The accordion is so large that it is impossible to see how long her skirt is or even whether she is wearing a coat. In the remix, this answer is made clear. Her coat is long, but her skirt is so short, that to the naked eye, it is invisible, rendering her naked, under her coat. A naked eyeful!

When looking for pictures for yesterday's remix of Roar by Katy Perry, we came across lots of pictures of tiger related babes and felt the need to do a remix of the all-time tiger classic, Eye Of The Tiger. The original cover of this Survivor song, has a tiger in it, whose eyes (note the plurality of that) are highlighted in yellow (though of course it should only be one eye to be true to the song's title). The remix has replaced the tiger with another, and very different, member of the Panthera species - a naked chick painted as a tiger - what else!

The fourth AllBum.Art for Katy Perry is partly in response to an e-mail we received from Kaydn of Jacksonville, FL. In her e-mail, Kaydn (no surname given) said:

y is u always remixing old shit like disco and that - do some chartz LOL

Although Kaydn's use of the language is a bit shit itself, we got the gist of her message and so here is a remix of the 2013 of Ms Perry's single Roar. Instead of Ms Perry on the cover, we have instead two alternative 'tigers'. One of them a nice example of the art of Hentai, and the other, a nice example of a naked chick painted in tiger colors. That OK for you Kaydn, LOL.
