NEW IN THE BOOKSHOP: THE ARCHIVE SERIES: #002 ACTION TIME VISION PUNK & POST-PUNK 7" RECORD SLEEVES [UNIT 26] (2016) • The punk era transformed the world of music. If you could play three chords, you could make records. You didn’t even need a record label. You could start your own. • The same thing happened in graphic design. All you needed were a few a sheets of Letraset and access to a photocopier, and you could make your own record covers. And lots of people did just that. • The work in this book is culled from the record collections of designer (and Unit Editions co-founder) Tony Brook, and leading punk scholar Russ Bestley. As one of the world’s leading authorities on punk and post-punk music, Russ has contributed an insightful essay to the book. • The book also features interviews with designer Malcolm Garrett, Mute founder Daniel Miller and Sniffin’ Glue editor and musician Mark Perry. • United Edition's 'The Archive Series' is a bibliographic celebration of hidden and neglected visual archives. The Archive Series views graphic design as one of the ways to understand the semiotics of culture. United Editions is committed to the collection and preservation of printed specimens and graphic design artefacts to open up possibilities of decoding the past. • Edition of 2000 • Available via our website and in the bookshop this week. • #worldfoodbooks #actiontimevision #uniteditions (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)
