OUGD406 - Secret 7 - Studio Brief 1

This is a live brief which is to  Design a 7" record sleeve for the following artists/songs. We had to choose one of the following songs + artists. We were told to try stay away from the obvious choice of album covers and create something unique. I really enjoyed the start of this brief as we had to experiment as a group with different techniques.

The Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be
Released in 1999 this track features vocals from Noel Gallagher - who also co-wrote it - and has a mesmerising music video directed by the one and only Michel Gondry

The Supremes - Reflections
Our first release from the wonderful world of Motown and the band's first with Diana as the main billing in 1967. This is an extended stereo version of the psychedelic pop single that has never been pressed to vinyl.

The Maccabees - Go
Taken from this London band's critically acclaimed third album Given To The Wild. It will be the fifth and final single taken from it, ahead of the release of a new album in 2015.

Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer
Apparently this song is all about sex. It's influential stop motion video that accompanied the track's original release in 1986 is an all time great, and we shall be pressing the video edit audio.

The Rolling Stones - Dead Flowers
From arguably the bands' greatest ever record Sticky Fingers. Released in 1971 it is housed in the iconic artwork conceived by Andy Warhol. This will be the first time the track has been released as a 7”.

St. Vincent - Digital Witness
The lead single from her recent album which was crowned album of 2014 by many, including The Guardian, The Sunday Time and NME.

Underworld - Born Slippy
Originally a B-side to Born Slippy, the remix shot to fame in 1996 when it soundtracked the final scene in the movie Trainspotting. We are working with the radio edit of this classic
