On this day in 1979 (2 Aug), Joy Division played the YMCA, Prince Of Wales Conference Centre, located on Tottenham Court Road, London. This was the opening night of a four-night alternative rock festival held at the venue. In addition to Joy Division, Teardrop Explodes and Echo And The Bunnymen were also on the bill that evening. Other bands to play the event on the following nights included Scritti Politti, Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle #joydivision#teardropexplodes#echoandthebunnymen#tottenhamcourtroad#london#postpunk#1979#ymca#throbbinggristle#cabaretvoltaire#scrittipolitti#newwave
We love this Punk Spines art print by Keith Haynes. Keith has recreated the spines of thirty-six Punk and New Wave albums including records by Ramones, Sex Pistols, Joy Division, The Clash & The Stranglers.
These are not photographs โ they are high definition re-drawings of the original record sleeves that Keith makes from scratch. He researches original fonts and designs, and painstakingly recreates and combines each spine into the overall artwork to create a pristine, fantasy record collection. Each version includes a 'typo' to prove it is not a photograph - can you spot it!.
