FAC 989: Internet Article About Cool New Book

This Thursday might be a good day to set aside for discretely revisiting the 80s. That is, the nearly forgotten good part of the 80s, not the excrutiatingly bad part of the 80s.
That's the day that Matthew Robertson's fab "complete graphic album" of Factory Records hits American bookshelves. The Manchester label that first recorded Joy Division, New Order, the Durutti Column, and the Happy Mondays was famous for its high-brow design, which probably reached its peak with that classic cover of the 12-inch single of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart."
And now that all those "Unknown Pleasures" T-shirts are stopping up gas cans in garages across the land, it's safe to reconsider euro-trash album art from the era of paper and vinyl.
