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

Wouldn't you credit it, Shakin' Stevens brings us another attempt at making it The Best Christmas Of Them All, which according to the original single cover front artwork simply requires Mr Stevens to stand singing into a microphone wearing a red suit and black shirt. On the remix we improve this scene by introducing a babe wearing a Santa outfit who is cooking a gingerbread house if you look closely - like you need any encouragement to do that! Ginger!

It's Christmas Eve and what better song to get us into the festive spirit than Baby (Please Come Home) by Darlene Love? On the original artwork we find Ms Love in a fetching shade of violet but with very little of the season's festivities about her. On the remix we find a babe in a Santa hat and who's only other clothing seems to be some fairy lights. At least she is keeping warm in front of a blazing fire. Bobble!

As Christmas approaches, we bring you another festive remix, this time from The Smurfs and their Christmas Wish. It seems that what the Smurfs wish for at this time of year is to float around underneath a mushroom with a bag of presents. That might be OK, but it's not what we wish for. Instead on the remix of the original single cover artwork we find a babe wearing a Santa hat and who is biting on the panties that she seems to have removed along with the rest of her festive outfit. Wishful!

Santa's Got A Brand New Bag, at least that is what Gary Walker tells us. On the original single front cover artwork we find Santa going about his festive business. It looks like he could do with a new bag as the one he has seems to have a patch stitched on it. On the remix we find a bunch of babes who have made some nice new pink velvet bags to give to Santa, which they seem to have made from their tops, as they appear to have lost these. How kind of them to help poor Santa out. Sewing!

We give full marks to John Lee Hooker for the original album front cover artwork of Chill Out as we find on it a scene in which Mr Hooker is relaxing on a comfortable chair by what appears to be a tropical beach. On the remix we find a babe who seems equally relaxed but who is taking a dip in a frozen lake. She is definitely out and will no doubt get a chill if she isn't too careful. Maybe next time a wet-suit might be useful. Redness!

On the original single cover artwork for Winter Song, we find Chris Rea apparently getting soaked by water pouring over him from a tuba floating above his head. What exactly this has gotten to do with winter remains as mysterious as the Bowler Hat being held by Mr Rea. On the remix we find a babe who is singing a song whilst in a very snowy and wintery setting. She has a nice warm scarf but seems to have forgotten most of the rest of her winter clothes. Icicles!

Toni Braxton brings us an album that she titles Snowflakes. Now it might just be us, but we would have at least expected that on the original album cover artwork, there might actually have been some snowflakes visible that would reflect its name. Thankfully this has been resolved on the remix, as we find a babe standing outside in the snow, with plenty of snowflakes in the picture as the fall on her. She seems to be wearing a fur-lined outfit but one that is otherwise unsuited to cold weather being full of holes. Snow-net!

Today's question is what is a Hazy Shade Of Winter? According to The Bangles, it might be black, as that is the color that all of the band members are wearing on the original single cover artwork. On the remix we find a babe standing outside in the snow, so it's almost certainly winter. She is wearing a rather hazy white bodysuit and so we can but presume that white, being the color of snow and of the catsuit, is the hazy shade that the group were referring to. Blanco!

We're on a bit of a roll at the moment with remixes of artwork from M People and today we bring you one of our legendary triple-plays. On the original single cover we find the lead singer of the band lying down among some clearly fake grass and plants. Could this be on a Fantasy Island, as the title suggests? Maybe. Then again the first remix shows a different babe against a backdrop that is clearly a tropical island and put the two together and maybe there are fantasies to be lived. Finally, on the second remix we find a babe who has been sitting in the sand and is off to wash it off in the sea. She must have removed her bikini for safe keeping. Rinse!

So when M People were singing Don't Look Any Further, what they seemed to have in mind was the notion that you would stop looking for whatever it was you were searching for, when you found a pink sofa. For some people that may be true, but let's make it more compelling and add a babe to the sofa and see if that has more of a desired effect when it comes to helping you to find what it was you were looking further for in the first place. Seek!
