Edwyn Collins Announces Details Of Unique Artwork For Forthcoming Single

• 6th Jun 2008

A hugely impressive list of musicians, artists, actors and authors are set to provide 25 original pieces of artwork for Edwyn Collins’ new single Home Again.

Taken from his recent album of the same name, which was released in the autumn of last year, the single will be available on 23rd June 2008 – all profits will go to Connect, the aphasia support organization who helped Edwyn during his recuperation following his life-threatening cerebral haemorrhage in February 2005.

Each of the artists included have customised a fold-over paper 7” sleeve which features one of Edwyn’s distinctive pencil drawings; Collins having amazingly re-learnt how to draw with his left hand as part of his recuperative therapy.
And in the Willy Wonka Golden Ticket tradition, the complete run of 7”s will then be sealed, amongst which will be the 25 specially customised sleeves, and then placed, at random, in a selection of record stores across the UK giving the public a chance to get hold of a highly collectable piece of original artwork for the cost of a 7” record.

The full list of artists involved and providing original artwork is as follows:

John Squire

Andrew Weatherall

All sleeves can be viewed and updated information about the release and the list of participating shops can be accessed via Edwyn’s website, link
