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

When ye goo, will ye bring back, a Letter From America. That is what The Proclaimers sing. They illustrate this on the original single front cover artwork with a drawing of a tall man in a derelict warehouse, which must be how they. On the the remix is a babe sitting on a desk with a US flag behind her. Oddly, the nameplate on the desk seems to says 'President', despite the blackboard in the background suggesting that this is a classroom and not the Oval office. Use your imagination as this is a great remix, really good, the best. Trump!

Isn't it obvious that for a single whose title is Breakout, the front artwork of the single should show someone trying to breakout of something or somewhere? Not to Swing Out Sister, who decided that the original cover should show the lead singer winking. Yes, that was winking. On the remix is a babe who is trying to breakout of a prison cell. She has a couple of problems to contend with. Firstly the bars of the cell. And secondly the dog collar around her neck which is chained to the cell wall. Escape!

What does Footloose mean? Let's ask Kenny Loggins. Oh, wait, on the original single front cover artwork there is just a picture of Mr Loggins and an inset of the cover for the movie of the same name. It seems he is too lost in his own ego to answer the question. Let's remix the cover. Now we find that a babe who has been walking in very high heels has decided to take one off. Or maybe the shoe was loose. Or her foot was loose. Do you see how that works? Arch!

What does Life At A Top Peoples Health Farm look like? According to the original single front cover artwork for The Style Council, all that is required are straw boater hats and a propensity to make a thumbs-up sign. Oh, and a long gold chain or two. On the remix, the health farm looks a little different as we find three babes in a gym, and they are wearing some gym gear. For some reason, not all of their gym gear, only their trainers and tops. Bottom!

Two things that you might expect to find on the original single front cover artwork of Body Rock by Maria Vidal would be some kind of rock, and some shape of body. Instead there is a fluffy haired picture of the singer. On the remix is a babe whose body is revealed through her see-through dresses. She is also standing in front of some rocks. Her body rocks, and also you can see a body and some rock, so the song title is now safely and completely illustrated. Igneous!

How many times has someone begun a story with the phrase To Cut A Long Story Short, and then gone on to talk for hours giving every last detail of some really boring tale? Well it seems as if Spandau Ballet were so bored that for the original single front cover artwork that all they put on it, other than a fancy border, was the name of the band and the title of the song. On the remix we have a babe who has cut her t-shirt a little short. There is a long story about why she did this but to cut a long story short, she got bored with a pair of scissors. Chop!

It's Sinful! What is? The original front cover artwork for this single by Pete Wylie. All it shows is a pair of eyes looking at something. Of course if the eyes were staring at something they shouldn't be, that might be sinful, but there is no evidence of this. On the remix is a babe who is sitting in the pew at a church wearing nothing other than tartan underwear and high heels which is not what most people would consider to be a suitable outfit for a Sunday. This seems to us to be particularly sinful, if not totally sacrilegious. Iniquitous!

Another remix for Teena Marie and this time she is telling us that I Need Your Lovin' (which we translate as meaning that she needs our lovin'). To give credit where it's due, Ms Marie does look a little needy on the original single front cover artwork. On the remix, the level of neediness has been wound up a notch, as the babe shown standing by a window (and a radiator) looks as if she was ready for lovin' but has been let down and is wondering when her lover will arrive. Better luck next time, eh? No-show!

Teena Marie tells us that she is Naked To The World. But on the original cover artwork for her album and single of the same name, she is clearly fully clothed, not naked. And where is the world to be found? On the remix is a babe who is naked and what's more, she is standing in front of a large crowd of people who we shall, for the sake of this remix, call the world at large. Unlike the original artist, she is then naked to the world, and sanity has been restored. Pavement!

Here are Peabo Bryson And Roberta Flack and Tonight I (or they) Celebrate My (or their) Love for you (or maybe for each other?) At least on the original single front cover artwork, they do seem to be enjoying each other's company. On the remix we find a bride, dressed in white, who seems to be ready to celebrate her love in the age honored fashion of singing this old 80s song while holding a bunch of flowers. Rose!
