Together with the other bands there will be a total of 700 unique record sleeves exhibited in the Idea Generation Gallery in London just before Record Story Day in April , until they are available to buy on the day (21 April).

There are still a few days left to submit your interpretation of Black Flies by Howard, so best get cracking. You have until January 13 to get those creative juices flowing.
