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

Now that the summer is with us, it's time to head out of the city and hit the beach. But how do we travel? By Greyhound? By Amtrak? No, by Groovejet of course! The original cover of Groovejet (It This Ain't Love) by Spiller shows a desert island in the setting sun - just the kind of place that a Groovejet should fly to. All we would add to this delightful destination is a naked babe and would you guess it, there she is in the remix! Marooned!

Yes, summer is now officially here and let's hope it's a Long Hot Summer which is what The Style Council hoped it would be. The original single cover shows them sitting around on a wall in Paris on a sticky summer day. The remix shows a feisty French babe wearing nothing but high heels and an overcoat sitting around on a bench on an equally sticky summer day in Paris. How do we know it's Paris - why, by the shape of the streetlights of course! Eye-full!

Ah yes, the song made infamous by the misguided miming of a million drag artists, One Day I'll Fly Away was probably one of the biggest hits of Randy Crawford. The original cover shows a happy, smiling Ms Crawford which in one way is good (it shows the artist) but in another doesn't really reflect the melancholy melody of the song. The remix shows an angel, stuck on the ground, who longs to fly back to heaven. Angelic!

S Club 7 sang Never Had A Dream Come True back in 2000. And it's easy to see why. On the cover of the single, the band seem to be lounging around doing very little rather than getting up of their butts and going to find the dream they so desperately seek. We have made it easier for you by including a dream girl on the remixed cover. Now if only she could come true... Tantalizing!

Isn't it great when artists co-operate on a single. Maybe. But then again when the name of the artist becomes Jason Nevins Presents U.K.N.Y. Feat. Holly James, perhaps that's a bit too much co-operation. The original cover of I'm In Heaven shows Holly James in a purple hue. Nice. But better still, the remix shows an angel who appears to have fallen to Earth, so not strictly in heaven, but if you bumped into her we are sure she would take you there with her on her way back up. Vertical!

This remix of Doop by Doop is just a thinly veiled excuse to use a picture of a thinly veiled pin-up babe. Beyond that there's not much to add except to say, 'doop doop deeby dabby doo-doo-doop' ad nauseum until such time as the song is so deeply engraved in your brain that the only thing you can think of day, night and all times inbetween is doop and yet you don't actually know what doop means which makes it all the more doopy. Doop!

Today we're talkin' 'bout My Girl, by Otis Redding. Red, they say, is the color of passion, which is probably why Mr Redding is pictured against a red background. Either that, or whoever designed the cover of the single recognized the connection between red and Mr Redding's name. In the remix we see the girl about who he is singing. Also in red. It's clear to see why he would want to sing about her and be so possessive with all that 'my girl' tangent, isn't it? Scarlet!

Not the first remix of a song by The Cheeky Girls, nor will it be the last as we have another one tomorrow (don't ask why). The good thing about these crazy Romanian girls is that they provide the material for the remix of their own songs. In the original cover of Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum) we see the girls shying away from actually touching each other's bums. A photoshoot that they did for a top shelf magazine provides the ideal remix material. Obvious!

Another fanmade entry, this time from Jackson Penge of North Carolina. Jackson says that although the picture on the original cover of The Love I Lost by Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes shows the band singing, it isn't blue and it is not evident who the lost lover is. He says of his remix that the girl in the picture is the love that is lost and that contrary to what might be expected the problem is that she has been lost, and can not find her way home. How careless!

Run Till U Shine. What does that mean exactly? Unfortunately, the original single cover of this track by Andrew Bennett Feat. Sir Adrian does not help at all. A cartoon angel, sitting on a cartoon cloud, wearing cartoon headphones and clicking his/her fingers to the music. Great. But where's the running and shining? Heaven only knows! The remix solves this completely as we a see a beautiful bikini-clad babe running along a beach in the sunshine. Beauty!
