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

There are, as anyone knows, varying degrees of coldness from 'a bit chilly' to 'brass monkeys'. Rainbow have decided to go with Stone Cold which is nearer to the monkey end of the scale than the chilly end. Sadly the cover of their single doesn't portray this which is why we have remixed it to show a babe who is attempting to turn herself to stone by freezing herself with snow. Sub-zero!

A Cold World is where GZA Featuring Inspectah Dick is trying to take us. But on the cover of his single, there appears to be a dead man in a diving suit holding a machete. It may be cold but it's not obvious (at least not to us). On the remix is an example of a real cold world. Four babes in their ice skates, in the snow and showing us their butts. The kind of cold world scene you see every day in ski resorts the world over. Polar!

The freeze continues as we find ourselves on a Cold Day In Hell with Gary Moore. On the original cover we see Mr Moore and his electric guitar, but it doesn't look very cold. On the remix we find the wife of Beelzibub dressed in leather and chains, standing in a winter scene. It's rare that snow falls in hell but it's lucky that a photographer was there to record it. Icy!

Yes, you can tell it's December because we here at AllBum.Art are remixing a load of wintery tracks. Today it is Cold by Annie Lennox. On the original artwork we see Ms Lennox looking more feathery than wintery. On the remix we find a babe who is distinctly cold. She is bending down in the snow and although that does not immediately mean that you are cold, it does when all you are wearing is a pair of high heels. Frosty!

Another cover artwork remix for the soggy boys of Wet Wet Wet. On the original single for Cold Cold Heart we find the lead singer Mr Pellow looking forlorn, but not especially cold, and not in the region of his heart. On the remix we find a babe who is most definitely chilly in the extreme and it is obviously causing her heart to be cold as she is holding the area carefully to try and keep warm. Brrr....!

Nothing explains a song better on the cover artwork than putting the lyrics on it. Which is no doubt why Tyler Farr thought that it would be a good idea to put some of the lyrics of his song Better In Boots on the cover of his single. We, on the other hand, think that babes look hot in boots and on the remix we find a babe wearing boots, in the snow, close to a dangerously unstable precipice. Best that she wears boots in such circumstances otherwise she might cause an avalanche. Flake!

What can we say about the cover artwork for Tim Daniels' single Digging My Heels In? Pretty much nothing as that is what is on the cover, nothing. Naught. Nix. Just the title of the song and Mr Daniels' name. Sadly our remix department slightly misheard the title and have produced a remix that would better fit with Digging In My Heels, rather than Digging My Heels In, but we will let them off, just this once. Shovel!

A triple-play from us here at AllBum.Art in the form of two remixes of the cover of The Fox In The Snow by Belle And Sebastian. On the original cover we find a fox, in the snow. Full marks for that. On the first remix we also find a fox in the snow, or a tiger, or cougar, depending on your outlook. The second remix is the fault of Simon in our accounts department. Often, when we remix songs, we listen to them to get a feel for what they are about. Simon is a bit deaf and instead of hearing 'fox in the snow' he heard 'f*cks in the snow', and so the second remix is for Simon and anyone else who is a little shallow in the hearing department. Eh?

Ah yes, nothing screams Underdog like the cover of this single from Kasabian. Why is that the case, when the cover has nothing other than the name of the song and the band on it, well it is clear that the designer is an underdog and does not understand the complexities of producing artwork for singles and albums. The remix helps him (or her) out by showing an underdog who, in this case, is a poor helpless babe made to act out the life of a dog, in the freezing cold snow for good measure (well it is December). Woof!

We begin December with a suitably seasonal triple-play remix from George Michael. The original cover artwork for his song, December Song (I Dreamed Of Christmas) shows an odd stack of televisions, a mouse and some badly drawn people. The first of our remixes shows a cold December angel who appears to be dreaming of Christmas. The final remix shows a babe who is clearly very into the idea of Christmas, and is dreaming of someone giving her a hot cup of coffee as she is standing around on a street corner in her Christmas outfit looking very chilly. Merry!
