MANCHESTER-born
designer Peter Saville,
whose career kick-started with his landmark
album covers for Factory Records in the
seventies, is bringing a collection of his work
back to the city.
About 500 pieces, including his earliest album
covers for Joy Division and New Order,
consultancy work for fashion houses Dior and
Givenchy and fashion images for designers Stella
McCartney and Yohji Yamamoto, are to be shown in
city centre museum Urbis as part of a new
exhibition - The Peter Saville Show.
The display, which arrives from Tokyo in
December for the opening on
January 23 2004, is
backed by a New Order soundtrack to take Mancunians back to their Hacienda days.
It is part of the museum's effort to make its
image more attractive to the public, and Saville
says he can't wait to see their response.
"Growing up in Manchester has characterized my
work," he says. "It's rewarding to be asked back
to show the work in the city where its spirit
belongs. After all these years, I'm intrigued to
know what Manchester makes of it."

Since the late 1970s when he began his long
collaboration with Joy Division and New Order as
a co-founder of Factory Records, Peter Saville
has been a central figure in design and style
culture. The New York Times described him as
“the default creative director for a
style-obsessed generation”. This exhibition will
trace Saville’s career from the first Factory
poster onwards.

Revenge
| One True
Passion V2.0 February
2004 sees a deluxe 2xCD reissue of the sole
album by Revenge, the electro/hard rock hybrid
fronted by New Order
bass player Peter
Hook between 1989 and 1992. Following the
release of Technique in 1989, the four
members of New Order
spent time apart to pursue other ventures.
Always intended as a proper band rather than a
solo project, Hook was joined in Revenge by
Chris Jones and Dave Hicks, and later by David
Potts, who would remain with Hook as part of
Monaco five years later.
One True Passion was originally released
by Factory Records in June 1990 and spawned a
trio of singles: 7 Reasons, Pineapple
Face and Slave. Given free reign to
indulge Hook's leather-trousered rockist
instincts, the material welded hard rock to
dance beats, with a lyrical focus on sin and
redemption. The artwork was just as
contradictory, combining sleek
Peter Saville
typography with softcore imagery by Suze
Randall. The band toured like bastards, and in
January 1992 delivered the excellent ep Gun
World Porn, which offered a more laid back,
intimate feel.
Deleted after the messy collapse of Factory in
late 1992, One True Passion has now been
extensively reconfigured by
Peter Hook, and
includes Hook's new
recordings of the late period unreleased tracks
The Wilding and Televive. The set
comes with a full-length bonus disc, Be
Careful What You Wish For, with lots of rare
remixes and unreleased songs in demo form. All
30 tracks, over two hours of music, have been
carefully digitally remastered. The booklet
includes sleevenotes by
Joy Division/New Order biographer Claude
Flowers, and a new, highly candid interview with
Peter Hook on the background of the band.

IN BLACK: New Order |
MANCHESTER heroes
New Order are getting back to basics
as they work on their latest album, which is
currently being brought to life at the band's
Macclesfield studio.
Gillian Gilbert, who joined as keyboard player
at the time of the band's transition from
Joy Division
after Ian Curtis' death in 1980, is not working
on the new release and has instead been replaced
by an (unspecified) guest guitarist, joining
bass player Peter Hook and singer Bernard
Sumner.
Gilbert, partner of New
Order drummer Stephen Morris, didn't
join the group on their most recent tour.
A source says the latest
New Order sound
is similar to that which they produced in their
previous guise. "It is much more like Joy
Division again," he says.
"Gillian has left completely and they don't
write so many keyboard parts any more."

Peter
Hook, New Order: All-time Manchester
United XI Victoria Barrett
Sunday September 7, 2003
The Observer
As a kid I used to live near Old Trafford. We
couldn't afford to go in, but we used to hang
round the stadium. I was about 14 when I went to
my first match. It was when the Stretford End
used to riot. You spent most of the time
watching the fans rather than the match. None of
my family supported United and my mates in
Salford were City fans. We used to go to the
derbies together - there was always a lot of
trouble. My God, it was frightening. I guess
that was what stopped me from going, and once I
got into the band I lost the passion for it.
It's only recently that I've been settled enough
to buy a season ticket.
When I'm on tour, I always watch United's
matches on TV. Football is such a big part of my
life. There's a misconception that
New Order are all
mad about football because we did the World Cup
song. We are supporters but we're not rabid. It
was great to do 'World In
Motion' and meet the 1990 England team.
Gazza drank three bottles of champagne in 15
minutes. He didn't even bother with a glass!
I used to see Beckham in all the Manchester
clubs. He'd be there with Giggs and Andy Cole,
and he always used to chat to me about music. My
son never believes me. 'Beckham talking to you,
dad? No chance!' I haven't seen him in a while,
obviously, but my mate told me that when Fergie
kicked the boot that hit him on the head, he
[Beckham] came home so pissed-off that he took
it out on his bodyguards by sending them out to
the garden centre in Alderley Edge, where my
mate works, to buy tonnes of gravel to fill all
the holes in his drive.
My favourite player is George Best. I got his
old job at the Manchester Ship Canal Company. He
was there as a junior. The guy in the office
said to me on my first day: 'George Best used to
sit there. You've got his desk'. Later, we did
the theme tune to his television series (
Best and Marsh: The
Perfect Match ). I plucked up the courage to
meet Best after my girlfriend had been nagging
me for ages. I went over and said: 'Hiya George,
I'm Peter Hook from New
Order, we did the theme to your series.'
He said 'I know' and then turned away. It was
awful. I'll never do anything like that again.
I'll stick to watching my football heroes
instead.
'True to Form' by Hybrid and
Peter Hook (Distinct'ive
Records) is out on 8 Sept.
