Is there a big range of designs? Is it easy to guess which is which?<\/strong><\/p>\nTwo thirds are digital prints, but we invited people to push the perception of what a seven inch sleeve really is. We have a wooden guitar sleeve, people have made them out of felt, there\u2019s one with butterflies carved out of the sleeve. There are themes. Obviously “Friday I\u2019m in Love” has themes of love and the heart but there\u2019s lots of other hearts on Bombay Bicycle Club and Ben Howard sleeves. It will be interesting when people come to pick them up whether they get what they\u2019re expecting to.<\/p>\n
How are visitors reacting to them so far?<\/strong><\/p>\nI think all the unusual ones are very popular, but everyone seems to be having a good look at the flying fox. I\u2019ve heard lots of wrong guesses of which is which, there\u2019s really big buzz among Cure fans around which one is by Robert Smith. There was a lady in the gallery earlier and she was pointing around guessing at some. She wanted me to play a game of \u2018warmer or colder\u2019.<\/p>\n
Do you think there are going to be some angry customers on Record Store Day who guessed wrong?<\/strong><\/p>\nThere may be a couple, but I hope not. I reckon people will be happy with the piece of art they\u2019ve bought. If they get the record they desire inside then brilliant \u2013 they have a one-off 7” sleeve that could be by one of their favourite bands.<\/p>\n
