Why is Chosen Time misprinted as ICB on 316? (Is this do with the drunken state of Peter Saville?)

(Unreleated matter)

ICB = Ian Curtis Buried (symbolically of course, since he was actually cremated)

No idea about the strange misprint on 316, though admittedly they corrected another misprint from the original version of Taras Shevchenko which listed Denial as "Little Dead" (which I seem to remember being the working title for IALP, though I could be wrong).

And the Sirens cover wasn't actually done by Saville, but rather by someone at Saville Associates. It was supposedly done partly by Barney (or at least based on his idea), since Saville is now too cool for designing rock albums.

So what exactly DOES Saville do now then? I know he was/is 'Creative Director of Manchester' officially, any Mancs seen his work for the government???

I was adding humour about Saville and his misprints on covers. Like his misprint one time about Ectasy being Only the Lonely.

And you know I dont go into the FAQ. What is FAQ, to me its a really bad word in chat lingo. FA-Q .

FAQ=Frequently Asked Question learned that on some other forum couple years ago

He designs covers for romance novels.

The working title of In a Lonely Place was Little Boy. I think Denial stated as Little Dead.
