Manchester Legends: The Smiths / Joy Division / New Order

This definitive Joy Division print meticulously documents the band's entire songwriting journey, from the initial Warsaw sessions in 1977 to the seminal 'Ceremony' demo in 1980, which paved the way for New Order's genesis. It's a chronological map that includes the An Ideal For Living EP, the classic albums Unknown Pleasures and Closer, along with other EPs, singles, and B-sides.

But it's more than a discography; it's an archival treasure trove that encapsulates recording and release dates, Factory Records catalogue numbers, recording venues, and credits for artwork and production. It's a deep dive into the elements that crafted the band's unique sound and aesthetic.

The print also explores a different dimension of the band's essence—Ian Curtis's profound literary inspirations. Discover the books that shaped his lyrical vision, from the existential musings of Sartre's Nausea to the dark narratives of Gogol and Burroughs. It's not just a print; it's a curated library of the poetic and philosophical underpinnings that influenced one of music's most enigmatic figures.

Crafted with the fervour of a true Joy Division fanatic, this print is a homage to the legendary Manchester band. Adorn your wall and celebrate the legacy of this truly era-defining band.

New Order - The Factory Records Years (1981 - 1990)

This unique tribute to New Order compiles the Manchester band's complete songwriting history with Factory Records from Ceremony (1981) to World in Motion (1990), their last release with the iconic record label.

In a similar fashion as the Joy Division print, the New Order print offers an in-depth insight into every track New Order recorded with Factory Records.

The artwork features iconic albums such as 'Movement', 'Power, Corruption & Lies' and 'Low-Life'; the 'Substance' compilation; New Order's 20 singles as well as the live videos released with Factory such as 'Taras Shevchenko' or 'Pumped Full of Drugs'. 

The New Order print also includes key information such as release dates, the Factory Records catalogue number, artwork, and production credits as well as a colour scheme that evokes the original artwork per release.

This is a well-researched visual tribute to the Manchester group and a must for the fellow New Order fanatic. Hang it on your wall with pride.

"The essence of Smiths Art (MozArt) was the will to have every Smiths sleeve as well turned out as possible, and it came from an idea I had to take images that were the opposite of glamour and to pump enough heart and desire into them to show ordinariness as an instrument of power - or possible, glamour. Bits of neo-realism, bits of brutality, with the task being to present cheerless and cluttered bed-sitter art in a beautiful and proudly frank way (note: The World Won't Listen). Rules, in all things, are simply laid down so that someone might break them." - Morrissey
