What New Order posters/merchandise adourns your walls in your household?

When I was at Uni my walls were covered in NO albums, a Closer Poster, Disappointed Poster, an 8foot laminated lino Republic poster and a Substance 87 poster. Ahh those were the days!!

And as for why I threw them all in the bin years ago...?? :nuts:

Nowdays its much more subtle, I only have 4 NO/JD Saville works of art (courtesy of a very good friend! :thumb: ) a Sonia Delaunay picture, an untitled abstract type lighthouse watercolour and two other untitled pictures not got a clue what they are but i just liked the look of them!

Oh and a OneUnited group picture of the squad holding up the league trophy last season.. ohh those were the days!! :cry: ;)

So your walls a shrine to the Order or is there more to your walls???

Don't care much for NO/JD on the wall myself. I like my assortment of Van Gogh reprints. At least Deek likes them as well ;)

I've got nish up these days but have got loads of photos of me as a nipper with snaps up all over the gaff - Woolwich Coronet, LowLife 85, Oxford 86, an Italian one which had bombs on it and which I removed the name of the venues from (can't remember why?) and the huge 81-82 poster which everyone used to pose in front of.

Now I've just got a Banksy print up, and the Italian poster for Once Upon A Time In America. Was gonna get New Order in Puerto Rico 89 framed recently as it's quite a nice picture (and it matches the living room curtains - deep red with a hint of gold) but I ain't got round to that yet.

Most of the walls in the main rooms are bare, my book room has a bunch of Oregon posters, and the room with my computer and stereo has a Mekons poster as well as some choice gig flyers from the years, such as NO in Oakland 85, Cabaret Voltaire with Faith No More San Fran 85, I think, The Chills and Go Betweens from 89, and a heavy duty gig from 88 with Sonic Youth, Screaming Trees, and Mudhoney. There are a few artistic photos scattered in some other rooms, including a beautiful waterfall from China that is right about the john :lol:

The only music posters that are visible to most are these, at the top of the small flight of stairs....

If ya can't see 'em clearly, the one in the middle is for the video of TPK, and the one on the right is the Factory/Rough Trade US promo poster for PC& L.

My wife would never let me hang up a poster of any kind at home, but my office is another story. I have a large 60mph promo subway poster behind my desk i got when I was in england, a LWTUA poster, some 12"X12" get ready promo piece and a Sin CIty poster autographed by Frank Miller:D

I have a LWTUA poster and a PCL US release sticker below it. I wish I had more. My little brother has the JD fence poster. However, I make up for it with a Pixies Surfer Rosa poster, Cure poster, Clash "Give Em Enough Rope" reprint US tour poster, Fight Club, Edward Scissorhands, Clockwork Orange, and there's a print of Hopper's painting "Nighthawks," a DM poster, and some other posters at home. Yep, lots of posters.

dammit Don...why must you dredge up the painful memories...I had loads of their posters adorning my walls before I got married...after marriage, the missus wouldn't allow them to be hung, and I think they all ended up in a garbage bin somewhere...

nowdays...I've got nothing from them up except in the bedroom...where I've got the low-life tour poster at the head of the bed...the get ready gig poster for Brixton and Apollo (complete with my Brixton stub mounted inside the frame)...and the one that looks like they were laying on the floor when the pic was taken...along with an ad from some trade magazine....

I've got the huge poster of the 81-82 ep in a tube, still waiting to be framed...not sure where that one will go when I finally get around to getting it framed...

I have a framed Technique US poster in my office, two framed Joy Division posters (Closer and Love Will Tear Us Apart) in my TV room, and one framed Low-Life poster in a closet somewhere...

I had more, but I was single back then :lol:

I have a Temptation 98 poster somewhere in my closet... too big to be framed, but I might do it someday.

Just the one, a black & white poster of Ian Curtis. This one...

Oh, and Don, you may want to edit your post, change the word 'cup' to 'trophy'. Just think about the difference between the League Cup and the League (Championship) Trophy. ;)

i never owned joy div/new order posters but after i got all the albums on cd, i took all the casette insert cards and made a nice collage of them and put it beside a few new order postcards. it resembled one of those cardboard promo flats and looked pretty cool.

I used to have a massive true faith 94 poster, but it pretty much fell to bits. I've got a temptation black one with the coloured cones on it and also a really awful one of barney with no top on shouting into the mic. None of these are on my walls anymore. In fact, i have no idea where they are... :scratch:

Loads over the years, the biggest bastard to keep up on the wall was the 6ft Technique Poster:nonono:

Most of my posters are ruined with cellotape or blue tack marks and impressions, still have them all safely stored away with my cuttings:nod:

I have the Joy Division (fence) Band Poster on me bedroom door, and the Green Final Solutions 1984 Tour on me wall.

:laugh: I used to have that bastard on me ceiling when I was at university. Most frightening student experience wasn't the beer goggle moose, it was the Technique poster falling down on me one night.....a certain amount of disorientation through alcohol caused a bit of a panic !!!!

Dunno how many times my posters would fall down during the night.....the noise they made would frighten the life out of you, in fact I'm still having nightmares to this day:lol:

You may well be right - but doesn't it say something about "having a fine time" above the smooching couple? It's so long since I last saw it........

Get ready tour poster framed and in office, two Central Station originals , three Bob Carlos Clarke originals, signed and framed James Herbert promos for Portent and By horror haunted in back bedroom/chill room and a large Rosenquist print. And a large faux Damien Hirst spin painting in the kitchen.

Would like a Paul Simonon original for the conservatory, but Mrs garymac reckons they're a bit pricey.
