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

The Police are having problems. They have got Spirits In The Material World, which is messing their ability to put together the front cover artwork for their single in the way they had wanted. All they have managed is a fuzzy blue representation of their faces. Let's help them out. On the remix is a busty babe whose spiritual assets are in a material world, transparently. Pond!

Ah yes, Candy. Nothing says candy as much as black and white photo of Paulo Nutini holding a guitar and sitting in front of some old buildings. At least that's what those who designed the original single cover artwork thought. On the remix is a happy. smiling blonde babe wearing a bikini made of candy. Now isn't that both far simpler, and much more to the point? Sweets!

How often do you live? A famous British secret agent said that you only Live Twice, and it seems that British singer Darius would agree with him. On the original single front cover artwork we find just a picture of the lead singer. No sign of death or resurrection. On the remix we find two babes and a skeleton. Which is living twice is a mystery, but for certain the two babes are living once. Are those real? A different question. Latex!

Whilst we're in the mood for remixing cover artwork by ABC, it's time to get The Look Of Love. On the original we find the band members (this seems to be a common theme with this band) with their instruments. On the remix we find a babe who just has that look of love in her eyes. If it isn't the look of love that she has, then maybe it is some other kind of look, but does it really matter? Cashmere!

The original cover of Killer Queen by British rock megaband Queen is, to put it mildly, lackluster. It just shows the band with floppy 1970s haircuts looking, if anything, bored. The remix shows exactly what it should, a devilishly dastardly queen whose looks could kill, let along her evil magic. Whatever you do, don't drink the glowing purple substance in the wine glass she is holding, that's sure to make her a killer queen for sure.

Today it is the turn of Matt Monro and his song From Russia With Love, which just happens to be the name of a James Bond movie of the same name. On the original artwork we find Sean Connery standing outside what appears to be the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, which, the last time we looked, wasn't in Russia. On the remix we find a leggy babe who we are led to believe, is actually Russian. With love.

One Direction seem to think that climbing onto a red telephone box in some way represents the title of their album Take Me Home. On the face of it, there would seem to be no connection between the two. The remixed album artwork, however, explains their keenness as we discover that a sexy babe is standing inside the phone box. Maybe they intend to take her, and the whole box home, but it would clearly have been easier just to take the babe and leave the box where it is. Payphone!

Like the cover artwork for many dance singles, Above And Beyond have made no effort to enhance listening pleasure through trying to describe Alone Tonight in graphical terms. The remix does a much better job as we find a babe standing alone at night (though paradoxically there must have been someone there taking the photo). Given the shortness of her skirt it seems unlikely she will remain alone for long. Bridges!

We always welcome user submissions at AllBum.Art so we were pleased to receive this from Bart De Haan from Belgium. Bart says:

AnnaGrace is ready to dare in her dress, but on the remix, the lady is more daring without the dress.

We see where you're coming from Bart. Thank you for the remix and keep them coming. Sprout!

It is clear that, on the original single front cover artwork for Outside by Calvin Harris Featuring Ellie Goulding, literally no effort was spared to represent the title of the song in picture format. What is shown is Ms Goulding kneeling down outside what looks like a car-port. On the remix, a young babe is also outside in a car-park but for reasons unknown appears to have removed all her clothes. Fine!
