I'm looking forward to the release of Anton Corbijn's film 'Control' about Joy Division, due on these shores in a month or so. (Though I'd like to see a film about Martin Hannett even more than one focusing on Ian Curtis.)

Honeyee.com has an interview with Daniel Mason of ‘Something Else’ about his work on the sleeves for the re-issued albums. He talks about some of the challenges in reproducing work digitally that was originally subject to the constraints of an analogue process:

What transpired was that major improvements had been made which impeded a like-for-like copy. What has been produced is a 2007 facsimile, looking to the past, being familiar to the viewer, yet strangely new.

It also reminded me of a rather good exhibition I went to at the Design Museum a couple of years ago, covering Peter Saville's work for Factory. Long since disassembled of course, but there is an accompanying book.
