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

A Touch Of Grey, that is what Grateful Dead are singing about. To illustrate this, the original single front cover artwork has 6 skulls on it, though, oddly, not all of them are grey (some are a shade of brown). On the remix we have a mature lady whose hair has turned grey. She is covering up an area of her body which in many cases is renowned for being hairy, and if this was also grey, she would be touching grey. A touch of grey. You see how that works? Gray!

Joyce Sims is telling us to Walk Away. But other than a photo of Ms Sims, there is next to nothing on the original single front cover artwork that indicates what we should walk away from, or why. On the remix these problems are fixed. What we should walk away from is a mature granny who is flaunting her saggy body at us. Why? Do you really need an answer to that question? Plenty more fish in the sea, as the saying goes. Throw that whale back!

You can almost see, on the original single cover, that Rod Stewart is infatuated with something, as his eye looks as if it has rested on some interesting titbit. That's Infatuation, Stewart style. On the remix are four very fat babes, which may have been what Mr Stewart had his eye on. If that was the case, then as the slightly changed single title shows, it wound have been in-fat-uation. Definitely not in-thin-uation. That would be in-sin-uation. OK, OK, enough already. Infuriation!

It's odd that the Levellers would choose to illustrate a song called This Garden by using a semi phallic face paint on the original single front cover artwork. On the first remix in this triple-play, a far more sensible picture emerges, one of a babe in black lingerie, standing in a garden. And not just any garden, this garden. On the second remix, a larger than life big babe is also in a garden (which could be this garden, or that garden) and though she is clearly trying to tempt you with her pose, there are no takers as far as can be seen. Towel!

Another triple-play from AllBum.Art, this time Little Red Boots from Lindi Ortega. We give Ms Ortega nearly full points for the original album (and single) cover artwork as it shows the singer wearing red boots, thus our remixes are largely redundant (but fun nonetheless). In the first we find a babe wearing her red boots and not much else. In the second remix we find a plump old bird seemingly proud of red boots which she is showing off, to the detriment of her other clothing. Maroon!

Another remix for R.E.M.. According to the band, It's The End Of The World As We Know It, however the original single cover artwork does not help us depict the scene, unless the world ends with a lightning storm. On the remix we find a babe who is defending herself as the end of the world as we know it encroaches on her. She has a large gun and must have been shooting a lot of zombies or something as she is covered in blood. Also some chemical agent must have been in use as all her clothes have fallen off. Apocalyptic!

This remix of Brick House by Commodores was sent to us by regular contributor Phil Darnall of Great Britain. Phil says:

This song is about a woman so big, they sing about her being a brick house. In England we use the term brick shit house. Either way, the original cover doesn't show any house. On the remix I have put a big boobed woman (BBW) who could be either a brick house or a brick shit house, or just shit, all descriptions seem equally appropriate.

We can see that. Thanks for the remix Phil. Blubberly!

A noble cause, 'Save The Whales', and one to which band Yes clearly subscribe given the title of their single Don't Kill The Whale. The original cover artwork for their single highlights the plight of these majestic creatures as we find a whale who is thrashing about in the sea. Little changes on the remix as we also find a whale thrashing about in the sea, though we are less concerned about her longevity. Blubber!

Another remix for Philly soulsters Boyz II Men. So what do the 'boyz' tell us we will find at the End Of The Road? According to their original cover artwork, it will be themselves. OK, for some that may be enough. On the remix, though, we find a babe wearing lots of fishnet and not in the most fetching way. Certainly if you were going along this road, this is where you would most likely stop and turn around. Final!

Another Babybird remix by Phil Darnall of England, today it is the turn of their album Ugly Beautiful. According to Phil, the original single cover artwork shows something that is neither ugly nor beautiful but is just downright repugnant, being what appears to be the foot of someone in a morgue. On the remix Phil provides us with two babes, one ugly, one beautiful, both in a very similar pose, and asks us to choose which is which. We know which one we would go for. Selection!
