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

Pointy, pointy, ooh la, la, pointy pointy. That is how the lyrics of On Point by House Of Pain might have gone if they'd left them to have been written by an idiot. But the lyrics are not what concerns us, it's just the artwork that we feature. The original cover shows the band, well almost. The remix shows a babe to whom the lyrics pointy, pointy, ooh la, la, pointy pointy would actually have applied very well. Apex!

Don't you just love Sash Featuring La Trec for their apparent lack of any interest in making the original front cover artwork for their single even the slightest bit interesting? No? Well thankfully AllBum.Art is to hand. On the remix we find a babe who is having difficulties with a troublesome hound who appears to have pulled one of her stockings off. She's having trouble making him stay. Woof!

What could be more iconic than Louboutins when it comes to shoes? And on the original single cover artwork we find that Jennifer Lopez does appear to be wearing said shoes which we know as the heels are painted red. Full marks on the AllBum.Art score card for a cover that shows the artist and the title. So in this sense, the remix is worse in that Ms Lopez is gone, and all that we are left with is a different babe who also appears to be wearing a pair of Louboutin shoes with their red soles. Oddly, that's all she is wearing. Spike!

While I Shovel The Snow, it seems that The Walkmen are not going to help but are going to stand around under a bridge staring towards the icy river beyond. Thankfully, on the remix, we find a babe who is more than willing to help shovel the snow, and she has all the necessary equipment, including a snow shovel and some sturdy winter boots. On the other hand, she seems to have forgotten the rest of her winter outfit. Guess you can't have everything, can you? Complete!

When Whitney Houston tells is that I Have Nothing, we don't believe this to be strictly true. Not least, the original single cover artwork shows her to have a nice black dress. On the remix we find a babe who really does have nothing. Not only does she not have a dress to wear, but it seems that even if she was wearing a dress she has none of the womanly curves that would fill it out nicely as up top she has nothing either. Flatties!

A triple-play of remixes and ones that fall within our 'X-rated remixes' category. The original cover for Clair Hicks And Love Exchange is nothing more than the title of the song and the name of the band against a marbled backdrop. The two remixxes follow an identical theme, that of one babe pushing in the bush (see definition number 11 in case this whole thing doesn't make sense) of another girl. On the first the pushing has already been quite successful. On the second (where it oddly appears that the babes concerned are dressed as schoolgirls) the pushing has a little further to go, though the pained look on the girl who is being pushed into's face suggests it might be time to stop. Fist!

The original cover for the Ohio Players album Ouch! shows a babe who appears to have gotten something stuck in her ass, and is experiencing a certain amount of pain extracting it, but it is not clear what is stuck there. On the remi-xxx (yes another of our xxx-rated remixes) the situation becomes clearer as we find that the babe concerned appears to have a string of beads stuck up her ass. What we can't confirm, however, is that this is causing her any pain. Extract!

With a title like This Is Hardcore, this album by Pulp was always destined to be 'Remi-XXX-ed' instead of just a regular remix, and just to make matters even more merry, there are two remixes for your enjoyment. The original cover hints at hardcore through the use of a topless babe positioned in a pouting pose. The two remixes follow a very similar theme, that theme being, largely, a babe who is being entertained by the back door, which is about as hardcore as we dare get. Anal!

Having seen yesterday's remix of a track by The Stone Roses, we received a user submitted remix of Fools Gold from Maark Aardman (not sure why there are so many extra 'a's in his name) from Bolton, England. Maark says:

Our lad needs some gold that would make a fool of you, get in!

We don't quite know what he means but we get the idea. The babe in the remix wouldn't fool anyone with that gold get-up. Shiny!

What spreads? Butter? Jelly? Rumours? Wildfire? No, it's love... Love Spreads according to The Stone Roses. The thing is that their original artwork provides no indication whatsoever of how this spreading of love is to take place. On the remix we find a babe whose love is spread about as widely as it is possible to go unless she contorts into some bizarre yoga pose more complex than the position she is already holding. Widely!
