The "A New Order Release" type at the top is a dig at record company demands that the bamd's name be on the sleeves, which often wasn't the case in their Factory days. The images are clip art manipulated in PhotoShop or an early predecessor, anticipating quite brilliantly the generic corporate quality of photo use on websites in the 21st century. (Maybe corporate brochures and PowerPoint presentations were what Saville was satirizing---even the style of the bamd's name as NewOrder is meant to look corporate and trendy.)Walter Lawsonnoreply@blogger.com
