Sabbath boys teams up with "Secret 7" to release 100 copies of "Age Of Reason" single for charity purposes

Black Sabbath never forget to do charity work. This time our guys are teaming up with "Secret 7" to release 100 copies of an "Age Of Reason" seven-inch single in aid of War Child, a family of independent humanitarian organizations which work together to help children and young people affected by armed conflict. "Secret 7" returns for 2014 with seven more iconic acts and seven iconic songs from the past 33 years.

The full track list for 2014 is as follows:

BLACK SABBATH - Age Of Reason
JAKE BUGG - Strange Creatures
ELBOW - Grounds For Divorce
LORDE - Team
MASSIVE ATTACK - Karmacoma
ROXY MUSIC - Virginia Plain
T.REX - Get It On

The announcement of this year's artists and tracks coincides with the opening of the project's submissions process for creatives across the world. The selected work will feature in an exhibition and sale of 700 one-of-a-kind records at Downstairs at Mother. All 700 sleeves will be exhibited on April 12 and April 13. On Record Store Day, April 19, visitors are able to purchase the unique vinyl sleeves for £45. However, none of the buyers will know who created the sleeve, or even which song it's for, until they have parted with their cash — the secret lies inside.

Those wanting to design a sleeve need to head to the Secret 7' web site, www.secret-7.com. Closing dates for entries is February 19.

In 2013, the project counted Ai Weiwei, Gilbert & George and David Shrigley amongst the hundreds of artwork contributors. A queue began forming over 24 hours in advance of the sale, which sold out in just a few hours. In two years, Secret 7" has raised £63,670 for good causes.
