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

What does a Graffiti Soul look like? Well, according to the original album front cover artwork by Simple Minds, it is the title of the song, and the name of the album in a sans-serif font, with some scribbled version of the album name in the background. The remix has the same font, but in the background is some graffiti and, for no particular reason, a nearly naked babe, other than for her high heels. Bangle!

It's time to catch the Trans-Europe Express with Kraftwerk. On the original album front cover (and the single of the same name) the four band members are looking into space for no apparent reason. Now we know what you're thinking, but no, we haven't used a trans-gender picture on the remix, instead there is a busty babe astride a railway line. This seems like a silly place to sit, especially wearing nothing but green high heels, but perhaps that's what makes the driver of the train go faster. Express!

Continuing the train theme (for not particular reason), we find ourselves on the Last Train To London courtesy of the Electric Light Orchestra, a.k.a. ELO (to use an acronym or two). What do ELO expect to find on the last train? It seems that the answer is a 'simon says...' type space-ship. We, at AllBum.Art think that a naked babe in a railroad yard is much more likely. Well, in the world we inhabit it would be. Steaming!

This Is How We Do It, says Montell Jordan. But what is how you do it? The only advice given by the original cover is on how to look a bit pouty in black and white. The remix offers more salient advice. In it we see a pregnant babe who is showing us how she got into that state, or at least offering advice on how to do it. So that is how it is done. Who would have guessed? Mr Jordan? Maybe!

Another classic '80s song, and an equally classic '80s cover artwork. The cover of Jump (For My Love) by the Pointer Sisters is very colorful, but does not show the sisters. Nor is any jumping evident though stretching the imagination a little, it could be suggested that the uppy-downy nature of the letters of the word jump are somehow meant to reflect an uppy-downy movement. How would you like sisters to jump for your love? Well naked of course and especially uppy-downy! Trampoline!

Who knew that Aerosmith were making records in the 1970s? Well, for one, they did, obviously. This is the remix for the cover of the single Walk This Way, which is perhaps more famous for the remix done with Run DMC. On the original cover of the original single, we see the band on stage in some sodium lamp lit confusion. On the remix we see two babes showing exactly how walking this way should be done, and that is naked - and on a street corner. Perambulate!

It is possible, though it seems unlikely, that the scene depicted on the original cover of Radioactive by the Imagine Dragons is in someway connected to nuclear fall-out. But other than the colors being slightly washed-out, there is no real evidence of radiation. In the remix this problem is cured as we see an asian babe who is wearing some kind of protective mask and who has the symbols that warn of radioactivity painted on her. It seems that whatever the nature of the radiation she is being exposed too, it must only be dangerous if inhaled, as the rest of her body is woefully unprotected. Neutron!

As if Chaka Demus And Pliers isn't an odd enough name for a group, the cover of their single Tease Me is even odder. Other than some badly colored snaps of what can only be presumed to be the band members peering out at the side of a rusted corrugated iron panel, the red blobs at the bottom make no sense either. The remix is 100% clear as we see a hot, hot babe doing some teasing by looking lasciviously at the camera whilst flashing a shapely boob. Top!

Pink, orange, yellow and blue stripes. Is that what The Drifters think that life is like Under The Boardwalk. Well sorry to disappoint them, but it is not. It is a hostile environment where the sea lashes against the exposed metalwork whilst naked babes have to stand around holding up stanchions to ensure the boardwalk doesn't fall into the sea. Hang on, is that true - the bit about naked babes and stanchions? Obviously it is - see the remix! Joist!

We are particularly proud of the remix of the cover artwork for Two Can Play That Game by Bobby Brown that we have produced. Instead of showing two beret style hats (for no particular reason that is apparent), we show a game that can be played by two, in this case table football. Yes, two can play that game. In fact more than two can play that game but given the two that are playing it in the remixed cover, it might be best to leave them to it and stand back and watch. Dual!
