New Order limited edition art posters for Michael Shamberg

NotAMod wrote: I also wish they would have also released something a little more affordable rather than 150-200 quid straight off the bat. Still, it's for a good cause and if there's fans who are prepared to drop 400+ quid on a pimped up edition of Hooky's Hacienda book then there will surely be a few takers for these. It's less about the overall obvious worth of the item and more about an exclusive souvenir as thanks for medical care contributions. No doubt they would look pretty cool framed, especially the signed ones.

If Hooky can do it with The Light live at Goodwood then I'm sure The Other Three can.

Regardless, let's hope they sell a fair few of these posters

Agreed.

If you're going to the gigs then you're making a donation anyway and you're getting something great back in return, better value than the signed print most would say.

Not bothered about it being a cannibalisation of a previous design either, surely that keeps costs down which means more cash can go towards Shambergs health care? And there isn't really time to create something to scratch either.

If a limited run signed by PS went up on eBay I wouldn't be surprised to see folk chase the price up to this sort of price or higher. So may as well get the cash to Shamberg rather than to a poster tout.

I'm not in the market for one, spunking enough on the gigs, but hope they shift them.

line of the day Marko, just hope the band dont make you 'rise' to the ocassion in Paris/ssels or someones in for the David

FOOK ME! How much??

I want NEW ORDER LTD to play in my front room for that...

Like Saville says in the Joy Division video [slight misquote on my part maybe]:

"the Unknown Pleasures and Closer sleeves are the work ... the rest is merchandising ... the merchandising of memory"

Personally, I am more tempted by this:

... than by the gig posters.

These could be very interesting although the image is far from clear on this link. Any other images anywhere?

No offence like

I want to see who's gonng buy one of these posters now, just so that we can draw a line between the 'wealthier' fans and us 'average' fans.

My money's on Smedders. He's a shoe-in for one of these.

Iain, if yer looking in, I'd love the Belgian one, there'd be a beer in it for ya

@ Shug - swap you a Belgian beer for a Belgian beer, perhaps not a Belgian poster ...

@Jarvo - "shoe in"? I didn't even buy the limited edition Hac shoes.

I don't know if the link is bust (works ok for me), but the image is ... well, that dayglo pink rectangle you see on the link.

Oh yeah the link works but the image is hard to decipher.

god these posters are sad, could have cooked them up myself in MS Word in about 20 minutes....

and the video... dreadful. why? everything about it is off. why did they even do it? sumner is less articulate than ozzy osbourne... gillian looks like she is having a stroke. steve is about two miles away.

I highly doubt Saville had time to make elaborate posters, and as others have pointed out, it's likely he had to keep costs down. I'm not going to be harsh on the three members in the video message.

This bunch has never been terribly comfortable in front of a camera, especially unscripted and off-the-cuff, and given that Barney needs his friend Otto Queue to help him remember the words to Blue Monday, they did okay.

230 Euro for a signed poster is a little steep,if for example they had charged 145 euro or preferably 100 euro for a signed poster instead of differentiating between signed and unsigned I think there would have been a more positive response, And besides,as others more colourfully put it,it's costing enough between flights,accommodation,tickets etc. for the trip to the continent as it is..

What about the size of these posters? I will ask Hooky to sign it then to complete the team

Agreed.

Maybe this is a clue the set list will be "Substance" track by track - getting in quick before The Light gets there i reckon
