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

Twiddly diddly dee, it's Lolly and her friend the Rockin' Robin. Twiddly diddly dee, it seems that to represent this seasonal classic, Lolly has decorated her forehead with snowflakes. Twiddly diddly dee, on the remix we find a babe with a red breast, which must mean she is a robin, though it is more usual to spell it robyn if it's a girl. Twiddly diddly dee, that's an improvement and all that remains is to check if she is rockin'. As far as we can tell, she rocks! Twiddly diddly dee!

In a way, cover versions (or versions of a cover) is what AllBum.Art is all about, so it is particularly prescient that today's remix is of a cover version of White Christmas by Darts. Of course we all know it's originally by Bong Crispy which is why, on the original cover of the cover version, the band are looking a little sad. Probably. On the remix we just find a babe who is wearing white at Christmas time, at least it's probably Christmas as it's cold and snowy. What random and pointless logic. Flagpole!

Blue Yule is a compilation album containing, it says, "Christmas Blues and R&B Classics". Which makes it odd that the album cover is in red and green. Where are these aforementioned blues? The answer is on the remix where we find a babe in the snow and in the process she has turned the artwork blue, not in the 'xxx' sense, but in an 'rgb' sense. Actually, it's more a combination of cyan and blue, but we won't argue the fine points. Cornflower!

One of our rare 'one for the ladies' remixes for Boney M and their single Daddy Cool. On the original single we find the girls in the band trying to make the guy in the band look cool and failing badly. On the remix we find a cool daddy. Actually, we don't know if he is a daddy, but he is certainly cool, not just because he appears to be a good with his skis, but because he is standing naked in the snow. Shrinking!

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!

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!

Let's play word association... 'Rock Bottom'... Did you think of a man and a woman resting their chins on their fists, wearing waistcoat suits and red flowers? No? Well apparently that's what Lynsey De Paul and Mike Moran thought of when they were given the choice to select a picture for the cover of their single. When we though or rock bottom, we thought of a hot babe with a rock solid ass standing looking over a rocky landscape. That's just how our mind works, and we feel all the better for it. Granite!
