SECRET 7'S





.....................................................................................................................................

Earlier this week brought the private view of Secret 7, a project which aims to rekindle some of the excitement for sleeve art in the digital era by exploring how a track would be interpreted by an array of brilliant artists.

The Idea Generation gallery hosted around 700 unique seven-inch sleeves inspired by tracks from The Cure, Florence + The Machine, Bombay Bicycle Club, CSS, DJ Shadow, Noah & The Whale and Ben Howard.

An aspect about the show that I really liked is the element of mystery, as each sleeve will lack the name of the creative until it is purchased. Some of my fellow image makers at Handsome Frank created covers for the exhibition, can you spot any of them?

On the 21st April (also known as Record Store Day) through to close on Sunday the exhibition is yours to own. Each of the one-of-a-kind heavyweight 7'' records will be available to take home with you for a minimum donation to Teenage Cancer Trust of £40.

Every penny profited from the sale of these exclusive vinyl records is going to the charity.
