Cover Info below;
New Order's
"Procession", the second single Sept 1981 on 7" vinyl record. It is a double A side with "Everything's Gone Green". The single's Factory Records catalogue number is FAC 53.
Designed by Peter Saville, the artwork was inspired by a 1927 graphic of a generator by Italian futurist Fortunato Depero.
The UK release's sleeve came in nine versions, all with different colours: black, blue, aqua, yellow, red, brown, orange, green and purple. The second side of the single contains a shortened version of "Everything's Gone Green", the full-length version of which was later released as a 12" single on its own.
Although the original UK single does not indicate which is side A or B (the runoff matrix simply lists "SOFT" and "HARD" for each side), the French edition of the single actually has "Everything's Gone Green" labelled as the A-side track, and some Spanish and Portuguese pressings have reversed labels.
Overseas Versions:
Portugal/France/Spain: Grey paperboard with blue graphics only.
Italy: Black and white on thin paper.
New Zealand: Dark blue/light blue on paper.
Ian Dury & the Blockheads album - Do It Yourself
Released May 1979. Stiff Records released the album with at least 34 known alternative sleeves, each one featuring a different Crown Wallpaper design. Each sleeve has the Crown catalogue number for the particular wallpaper design in the bottom left hand corner.
The numerous sleeves greatly helped sales, and there were reports of 'completist' fans travelling to different towns and even importing more sleeves that were only released abroad. In addition, Stiff commissioned a wide variety of promotional merchandise, with various badges, combs, watches, paint brushes, paints pots, bags, clocks and wallpaper distributed.
