The Song Print Collection

Some songs don't just soundtrack a life — they organise it. You know where you were the first time you heard it, who you played it to, and how many weeks it took your fingers to find the shape. The Song Print collection follows one song all the way through. Not a single image, but eight, each one a different chapter of what that song did to you.

It opens with the guitar in the shop window, on a wet street in Manchester, Liverpool, London, Seattle or Los Angeles. Then the bedroom floor where you learned it off the record, and the studio where it was made. Then five decades of imagined cover art — Film Noir, Paperback, Retro Pulp, Kitchen Sink and Northern Life — the same song restaged as a lost paperback, a B-movie, a sleeve that never existed. Painted, not printed: full pulp-novel scenes with characters, period clothing and the exact guitar. Choose your band, and follow one song from the shop window to the wall.
