Seven tracks that are designed the sleeve for, these are unknown till the buyer pays.

‘Secret 7” takes 7 tracks from 7 of the best-known musicians around and presses each one 100 times to 7” vinyl. They then invite creatives from around the world to interpret the tracks in their own style for every 7”. 700 sleeves are exhibited and then sold for £50 apiece. They buyers don’t know who created the sleeve, or even which song it’s for, until you have parted with your cash - the secret lies within.’

UNDERWORLD - BORN SLIPPY (taken from trainspotting film)

Drive boy, dog boy, dirty, numb angel boy

In the doorway boy, she was a lipstick boy

She was a beautiful boy and tears boy

And all in your inner space boy

You had chemicals boy and steel boy

You had chemicals boy, I've grown so close to you

Boy and you just groan boy

She said, "Come over, come over", she smiled at you boy 

Let your feelings lift, boy, but never your mask boy

Random blonde boy, high density

Random blonde boy, blonde country

Blonde high density

You are my drug boy, you're real boy

Speak to me and boy, dog dirty numb cracking boy

You get wet boy, big, big time boy, acid bear boy

And babes and babes and babes and babes and babes

And remembering nothing boy, when you like my tin horn boy

And get wet like an angel, derail

You got a velvet mouth, you're so succulent

And beautiful shimmering and dirty wonderful

And hot times on your telephone line

You got to never land on your telephone and in walks an angel

And look at me, your mum squatting pissed in a tube hole

At Tottenham Court Road

I just come out of The Ship

Talking to the most blonde I ever met

Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager, lager"

Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager, lager"

Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager, lager"

Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager"

Shouting "Mega, mega white thing, mega, mega

White thing, mega, mega white thing, mega, mega"

Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager, lager

Mega, mega white thing, mega, mega white thing"

So many things to see and do in the tube hole true blonde

Going back to Romford, mega, mega, mega

Going back to Romford, hi mum, are you having fun?

And now are you on your way to a new tension and headache?

Album Cover Experiments 

Abstract - 

Overuse of the word 'boy' so boy is created in the amount of time its spoken in the song, there a large focus on this word as the major lyrics of the song, therefore the cover reflect this. The use of colour reflect the songs theme of gender fluidity, how it says she and boy combined to create a multi gender persona. Each 'boy' then on the cover has a blue version which represents the male but also the pink to show female. The glic effect also relates to the style of the song which is very rave/techno.

Obvious -

As the song is best know for its part in trainspotting the film which has a heavy theme of drug uses and addiction the cover for the record is just simply a dilated pupil, this is a side effect of drug use therefore the relates film. Also this happen in raves ect where the song will be played and associated with this scene, mostly unground illegal raves along with drug use.
