New Order - Ukrainian National Home - 1981



Reposted from Stupefaction: Here's great bit of ephemera courtesy of our friends over at Cerysmatic Factory. From November 19, 1981, its a flier for one of the earliest of New Order gigs in the US with support by New York's own Ike Yard at the Ukrainian National Home. Its extremely rare & no one really knows how many exist.

The gig was filmed and released as the FACT 77 Taras Shevchenko video by Factory Records. The poster design was a collaboration between Michael Shamberg (head of Factory's US operations) and Ike Yard's Stuart Argabright.
