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

We're not really sure whether Dead End Street by The Kinks qualifies as a Halloween Hit, but as it involves the word 'dead', we're going to include it. On the original single front cover artwork, we can see a dreadful montage of the band members holding umbrellas. On the remix we see a babe standing at the end of a street, the dead end that is. She had better be careful wearing nothing but a scarf, stockings and heels as there is no escape from a dead end street. Undead!

We have to hand it to Roger Waters, the cover of his album The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking ably demonstrates some of the pros. It is, of course, perfectly normal to find a naked babe standing by the side of the street with her thumb out trying to flag down a vehicle to give her a lift. So much so that on the remix we have not really changed anything other than the perspective of the camera. Roll on!

Nothing says Dare Me (Stupidisco) better than a fuzzy picture of a babe in a boxing rung. That is what we are led to believe by Junior Jack Featuring Shena on the original front cover artwork of their single. On the remix we find a babe who has been dared. The dare appears to involve her pole-dancing naked on a street light n a city at night. The extent of daringness would depend on how busy the street is and how late at night it is. Neither things are clear. Legend!

Thank you to Fun Lovin' Criminals for helping work out where exactly things are. It's now clear we must be at Poppy's place as they have clearly said Welcome To Poppy's. Where exactly that is, is less than clear, as the original album front cover artwork shows us not much more than a grey building. On the remix is a babe in a field full of poppies. Is her name also Poppy? That would make an enormous amount of sense. Field!

A summery triple-play for The Sundays and their single Summertime. On the original cover is a ladybug. Why this is representative of summer is not that clear. On the first remix, we have a babe standing in the sea in her bikini, which unfortunately seems to have gotten rather wet. It's a summery vision though. On the second remix a different babe has foregone her bikini altogether, and is standing in the altogether in a colorful floral garden. Wall!

Take It Off, screech The Donnas from inside a television on the original front cover artwork of their single. The question is, who is acting upon their instructions. The answer comes in the form of the remix where a mature babe has done as she has been told and taken off her dress. She appears to be standing outside by a tennis court, which may not have been the most sensible place to have done this. Ping!

It may be the summer, but that doesn't mean that every day is full of sunshine. In fact it sometimes rains in the summer, and that is what Belinda Carlisle is explaining in her song Summer Rain. On the original single front cover artwork someone has had a go at placing a picture of Ms Carlisle amongst some raindrops. On the remix we find a couple who are kissing and cuddling in the rain, and it must be the summer as the babe is not wearing very much and she would be shivering in the cold if it wasn't. Logic!

Not just one or two people, but Everybody Loves The Sunshine, according to Roy Ayers Ubiquity. To demonstrate this, on the original single front cover artwork, we find Mr Ayers in a sunny yellow t-shirt. On the remix we find a babe who is actually outside enjoying the sunshine, dipping her body in the sea by a boat. Nice looking bikini she has on. Chainmail!

Something special for Independence Day, as we bring you Lola Stars And Stripes by The Stills. On the original single front cover artwork you will find some stars, but no stripes and no sign of Lola. On the remix we find the stars and stripes being held patriotically by a babe wearing nothing more than a military hat. Is she called Lola? It's a possibility, but even if she isn't, it doesn't detract from the celebrations. Salute!

While we're starting to enjoy the summer sunshine, let's take a look and see how DJ Jazzy Jeff And The Fresh Prince paint us a picture of the Summertime. If the original single front cover artwork is to be believed, it's all about skateboarding, skipping, basketball and leaping over water hydrants. On the remix we find a babe who is enjoying the summer in a way that she enjoys, just chilling by the pool. Ice cream!
