The Secret 7" initiative sees 700 vinyls in one-of-a-kind record sleeves designed by world-class artists exhibited and auctioned to raise money for charity
Record Store an exhibition project which, as it moves from place to place, creates access to up-and-coming yet still largely unknown musicians and is conceived as a mixture of shop, art installation and meeting place for music lovers. 200 ‘records’ with individually designed sleeves are presented; visitors are asked to choose their record by the sleeve and then listen to the music that goes with it via internet.

So peruse some of those sleeves designed by creatives we know and love below, from Paul Smith and Jeremy Deller to former It’s Nice That Graduates Sarah Maycock and Pat Bradbury.

The only credit is ‘designed by Island Art’ on the back and the German 12″ says ‘illustration: Marvel Comics’ (!) This version features two remixes by Coldcut incidentally. A classic back and front sleeve by (*update!) Dave Little for Bomb The Bass‘ first LP – the connection started when BTB adapted Dave Gibbons‘ Watchman smiley face with blood splat on their first 12″ cover for ‘Beat Dis’ – thus helping bring the smiley into the then current Acid House craze as its motif. Dave Little – as Steve Cook helpfully pointed out below in the comments – was Rhythm King‘s in-house designer, responsible for S’Express, Renegade Soundwave and more. Next up – the master – Moebius, drawing Hendrix, as he would do several times in ...Read more…

We’ve designed this dress for those days when you want to look put-together but need to leave the house in record time. It’s cut from jersey for all-day comfort and shaped simply with long sleeves, a defined waist and calf-skimming hem. Easy peasy.

Album artwork has always been carefully constructed in the music business. Picture sleeves, most commonly seen in European released records throughout the 60s can make some records much more collectible than the plain paper sleeved counterparts. Ethio Jazz/Funk came about predominantly in the mid 60s during the large soul movement sweeping the nations, brought back…
What can you get a wookie for Christmas, when he already owns a comb? If ever there was an axiom for the festive season it’s that a Christmas record is good for nothing but its artwork. And even then, you might prefer to feed them to the fire. Thankfully somewhat confined to the deeper recesses […]
