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

Just follow the Three Steps To Heaven, is what Eddie Cochran instructed us to do way back in 1960. But what will we find if we go there? If the original cover art is to be believed, we will find the aforementioned Mr Cochran playing his guitar. In the remixed version we find that heaven is much more appealing as up those three steps is a naked chick standing around waiting for someone to come past. So let's start the journey, one step at a time, or three all at once, you choose!

Ring-a-ling-a-ling... This version of the Holiday hit Sleigh Ride comes to us courtesy of The Ronettes. We have had to use a little poetic license for this remix, as there is no original cover to remix. So we have invented one! The original shows the band in their seasonal skirts, sitting on a wall in the snow. The remix shows an altogether different scene with a girl in the altogether sitting on a sleigh ready to ride. Any offers to pull her? Giddy up!

Another of those Holiday songs that has been sung by a cast of thousands, Winter Wonderland is a seasonal classic. This version is sung by Aretha Franklin and the cover for the song shows Ms Franklin in a suitably festive outfit. Our remix of the cover is also suitably festive and relays more of the fun of being in a winter wonderland. Playing in the snow, getting cold. Well you would wearing no sweater now wouldn't you?

The song O Tannenbaum is the German name for O Christmas Tree and has been sung by so many artists that instead of picking on one particular one, we have just remixed a generic cover taken from an ancient album on the Decca record label. Instead of the winter scene on the Rhine, you can see instead a naked Christmas tree - naked that is except for a single bauble. Any offers to help decorate it?

As it's Halloween, we're dishing up a double daily dose of dastardly deeds. In this case, a remix of the 1962 single from Bobby (Boris) Pickett And The Crypt Kickers. This song is forever on the radio at this time of the year, despite being over 50 years old. The Monster Mash is about a party for ghouls. The cover seems to show one guy on his way to the party. The remix shows the ghastly goings-on at the party itself!

Another cover art remix prompted by a picture rather than by the song. What could be more normal than a woman standing at a Bus Stop with her panties around her ankles? Where on earth did these pinup artists get their ideas. Regardless, it's a good chance for a remix of a golden oldie, in this case a song from The Hollies whose original cover was OK but has no bus stop in it, natch.

It's My Party, and I'll cry if I want to. That's what Lesley Gore told us in her 1963 version of this song. The cover though gives no indication of why Ms Goldstein would be crying at the party. The remixed cover gives us an insight into what is happening at the party and now much more becomes clearer. She is crying because the two naked babes at the bar have taken Johnnie away - easy to see how that could happen!

Did you even know that Clint Eastwood was a singer? Yes, he had a single in 1969 with a song taken from the movie Paint Your Wagon. The cover of the single I Talk To The Trees shows Mr Eastwood together with Mr Marvin sitting by a camp fire so where are the trees and why are they on speaking terms with them? In the remix we see the forest pixie who they were really talking with who fooled them into thinking they were talking to trees and not some hot nude babe by making a whooshing noise when she spoke. Try it for yourself!

Didn't he? Didn't you? Didn't they? Didn't we? No. Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time) say The Delfonics. Not really. Not standing around against an orange skyline? That doesn't really blow my mind. Does it yours? On the remix we find a babe who is blowing some dude's mind, or is she sucking his mind? Either way, it's quite mind-blowing how far she has managed to blow (or suck) his dick. So far, in fact, that he doesn't seem to have one at all. Didn't she?

Come on and Rescue Me, that is what Fontella Bass is requesting, nay forcefully telling us that we should do. To illustrate this, Ms Bass stands on the original single cover artwork with a whip. She doesn't look like she needs rescuing. On the remix are two babes who are trapped behind the bars of a window, and who desperately need to be rescued. The fact that they are naked means that the sooner the rescuer can get to them, the better. Bars!
