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

We would call the original cover of Ladyflash by The Go Team a complete failure. It does not show the band members at all, it doesn't have a lady on the cover, and there is no flash. The remix solves at least two of these problems, as we see what is definitely a lady, and in a pose where she is flashing just enough that she can remain ladylike but do the cheeky flashing bit as well. A difficult combination to pull off, but one she achieves admirably. Classy!

A new week, and the start of a week-long series of remixes of cover artwork by classic rock legends, Eagles. For no particular reason, we begin with their 1994 album, Hell Freezes Over. The original cover shows a few flames flickering around the title of the album. Hardly hellish. The remix shows the source of the fire - one of Beelzebub's own messengers has come to stoke the fires of hell. But will it freeze over? In winter maybe. Brrr...

It is Sunday. Amen. So where should we go? Well according to Hozier we should Take Me To Church. What is the attraction with church (other than, of course, eternal salvation from our naughty sins)? It seems to be a weird parrot-human-newspaper-pipework hybrid. No, that won't do. The remix, however, does provide a good solid reason to go to church (other than the aforementioned salvation) and that is that there appears to be a lingerie clad babe waiting to see us. Pray!

Another blazing hot remix, this time for New Flame by Chris Brown who is incapable of making a song in his own right and therefore needs to feature Usher and Rick Ross. We like the original cover of the single, with the seemingly naked babe silhouetted in fire and as such, our remix really doesn't add that much, expect to turn up the heat on the babe in flame and focus more fiendishly on her fiery frame. Yo, yo, yo!

Another remix for British band Oasis, this time for their 1995 single Wonderwall. The original cover shows a girl standing in a park whilst someone holds up the frame of a picture in front of her. One can only wonder what this has to do with a wall. The remix shows a similar picture, but instead of the girl being inside the frame, she has mysteriously disappeared. This is, arguably, more wondrous than the original picture whilst retaining no connection to any kind of wall whatsoever. Brick!

Yesterday we took a walk in the park, today we are studying the Parklife, as defined by Blur. It seems that the band's view of the kind of life that is found in a park is greyhound racing. We are not sure what constitutes a park in Britain where the band are from, but surely even in England parks have grass and trees and oh, look, there's a squirrel. So the remix solves this and replaces the greyhound with more typical life in a park. Some poor woman being chastised by her husband. Oh, and a squirrel - can you see it? Hidden!

Ahoy there, it's July 4 so time for a homeland themed remix. Here is Miss America by Big Dish. On the original single front cover there is a Miss, who may or may not be American, it's difficult to tell. On the remix is a babe who also may or may not be American, but either way she is celebrating Independence Day with the star spangled banner in more than one way. Stretchy!

It's not often that we do something like this here at AllBum.Art, but for the remix of the cover artwork of Linger by the Cranberries, we have tinkered with the title of the song. On the original cover of the single we see a young girl sat playing a church organ. On the remix it could be the same girl some years later, playing a piano in a similarly moodily lit environment. And what is she wearing? Linger(ie). See what we did there?

When Jeffrey Osborne sings On The Wings Of Love, what springs to your mind? It might well be Mr Osborne in soft focus wearing a brown sweater and gold neck chain. It might be. For us, we think of an angel. And not in a sweater and neck chain, but in white lingerie and high heels. And wouldn't you know it, that's just what the remixed cover art shows. What a coincidence. Snap!

With a song with a title of Come And Get My Love, what we, at AllBum.Art would expect to find on the cover is an alluring babe, enticing us to go get it. What we have on the original cover artwork is a picture of Reea, looking sultry. On the whole, this does the required job, but we felt a little remix to put an even more alluring, sultry babe on the cover couldn't hurt and so that's what we've done. Sorry Reea. Apologetic!
