Joy Division: 12-badge "Special Edition" set designed in 1978 by Steve McGarry

Description: "THE PUNK BADGES THAT DEFINED THE 1970s MUSIC SCENE" - The GuardianRob Gretton’s first job as manager of fledgling band Joy Division was to commission Steve McGarry – the artist who had previously created sleeve designs for a host of Manchester punk and new wave luminaries, including Slaughter & The Dogs, Ed Banger and The Nosebleeds, John Cooper Clarke and Jilted John – to design a record sleeve for An Ideal For Living, the group’s debut 12” release.To promote the record, McGarry also designed a set of 12 badges. Produced by punk badge publisher Better Badges, black on white versions were released to the public, while a small number of white on black versions were reserved exclusively for the band.Now, for the first time since 1978, Steve McGarry’s Joy Division designs have been reproduced once more, with collectors offered the opportunity to obtain both versions of these iconic sets. This set features the "Special Edition" white-on-black versions that were previously reserved exclusively for the band and that have never before been made available to fans and collectors. (The black-on-white versions are also available in a separate listing.) Delivered direct from Steve McGarry and packs can be signed on request.
