Secret 7″ auctioning off Rega turntables customised by top artists
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 31 August 2018
The people behind Secret 7″ have announced a side charity project, getting ten artists to decorate Rega turntables that will be auctioned off next month.
Each year, Secret 7″ prints up 700 seven-inch record sleeves featuring original designs from select artists, into which are slipped limited edition singles that are then sold off for charity. But maybe you don’t have anything to play those records on. In which case, this new event can help.
The turntables up for sale in aid of mental health charity Mind have been customised by Gavin Turk, Jeremy Deller, Jake & Dinos Chapman, Es Devlin, Stuart Semple, James Joyce, Jean Jullien, Pete Fowler, Hsiao-Chi Tsai & Kimiya Yoshikawa and Francis Richardson. They’ll be on display at the Ace Hotel in Shoreditch until 12 Sep, when bidding for them closes.
I badly want to own at least three of them, but I suspect I’m going to be priced out pretty quickly. If you all fancy clubbing together and getting me one though, I won’t stand in your way. It’s for a good cause. Check them all out and put down some money here.
