Secret 7”
Secret 7” takes 7 tracks from 7 of the best-known musicians around and presses each one 100 times to 7” vinyl. Artists around the world are then invited to contribute a one-of-kind cover to be used on a single vinyl.
In 2020, all 700 records were auctioned off to raise £134,000 for refugees. The twist: buyers don’t know who created the artwork or even which song it’s for until they have parted with their cash, the one time it’s not a bad idea to judge an album by its cover.
My selected cover was an illustration for Bob Dylan’s “Blind Willie McTell”, a portrait of the track’s tragic protagonist created by the metaphors in the lyrics.
