Factory Records : The Complete Graphic Album

Probably one of the most inspirational gifts we’ve received recently is ‘Factory Records : The Complete Graphic Album‘. The book visually takes you through a period in British music the impact of which is still felt today. The curator Matthew Robertson leads us through the work of iconic designers like Peter Saville – record covers, flyers and books for everyone from Joy Division to ACR to New Order to the Hacienda and to the Happy Mondays.

Buy the hard cover version at Amazon.

As a side note, there’s an interesting write up of a talk given by Peter Saville about the period on the Creative Review blog here.
