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

We always like to bring you something special for Halloween. This year it is the turn of Whodini and his spooky song, Freaks Come Out At Night. The original single cover artwork is lackluster, with the only indication of anything spooky being the fact that the words Whodini appears to have been written in blood, perhaps. On the remix we find a babe who is very freaky, and who has come out at night, out of her dress that is. Dark!

Bob Geldof deserves some points for the original front cover artwork of his album Sex, Age & Death, as it seems to depict someone potentially in the throes of sex. At it is a person, they must have an age, so two out of three. On the remix we find a babe who is in a graveyard and so fulfills the death part. As a person she also has an age, so that's also two out of three. She is sexy, so maybe that makes two and a half out of three. Match AllBum.Art!

You might not immediately associate Undercover Of The Night by The Rolling Stones to be a Halloween Hit but then if you think about it, being undercover of the night is exactly where ghouls and spooks hang out. On the original single front cover there is not much more than the famed logo of the tongue and lips. On the remix we find two vampire babes using the cover of the night to eat each other while resting in a coffin. Obviously!

What is A Question Of Lust? Well, it's obviously a single by Depeche Mode, but can the original cover artwork for the single help us to answer the question? Maybe it can, and the answer seems to be about kissing in a sensuous way but without allowing your lips to touch. The remix really doesn't do anything else to help with answering the question of lust, but does have a very lusty babe on it. Ditto!

The Herd have not found Paradise Lost, but seem, as far as the original front cover artwork goes, to have lost it. That is unless you consider red and pink clothing, leather jackets and flouncy shirts to count as paradise. On the remix we find a babe who is sitting on a tropical beach (or at least a mock-up of one) and who has had her paradise stolen by a cheeky sea bird of some kind. Maybe this is more paradise found than lost, depending on your perspective. Dunes!

Who can forget the iconic video for Flat Beat by Mr Oizo where his compadre Flat Eric (the teddy bear looking thing) taps his hands in time to the music, makes a phone call and does all manner of things that detract from the simple fact that the song is awful. The original front cover artwork shows a number of shots of said Flat Eric character. The remix features a babe who appears to be dancing to a beat, and is, as it goes, flat. Just as distracting. Toneless!

Thank you to Fun Lovin' Criminals for helping work out where exactly things are. It's now clear we must be at Poppy's place as they have clearly said Welcome To Poppy's. Where exactly that is, is less than clear, as the original album front cover artwork shows us not much more than a grey building. On the remix is a babe in a field full of poppies. Is her name also Poppy? That would make an enormous amount of sense. Field!

It may be the summer, but that doesn't mean that every day is full of sunshine. In fact it sometimes rains in the summer, and that is what Belinda Carlisle is explaining in her song Summer Rain. On the original single front cover artwork someone has had a go at placing a picture of Ms Carlisle amongst some raindrops. On the remix we find a couple who are kissing and cuddling in the rain, and it must be the summer as the babe is not wearing very much and she would be shivering in the cold if it wasn't. Logic!

Not just one or two people, but Everybody Loves The Sunshine, according to Roy Ayers Ubiquity. To demonstrate this, on the original single front cover artwork, we find Mr Ayers in a sunny yellow t-shirt. On the remix we find a babe who is actually outside enjoying the sunshine, dipping her body in the sea by a boat. Nice looking bikini she has on. Chainmail!

Something special for Independence Day, as we bring you Lola Stars And Stripes by The Stills. On the original single front cover artwork you will find some stars, but no stripes and no sign of Lola. On the remix we find the stars and stripes being held patriotically by a babe wearing nothing more than a military hat. Is she called Lola? It's a possibility, but even if she isn't, it doesn't detract from the celebrations. Salute!
