From • @factoryrecordsfans The first use of the image on the cover art for "Unknown Pleasures" originally published by Harold Craft in his 1970 PhD thesis "Radio observations of the pulse profiles and dispersion measures of twelve pulsars". Page 215 shows 80 successive pulses of the first pulsar observed, CP1919, tastefully stacked on top of one another. The plot was subsequently reproduced as a white-on-red image for the cover art of the 1970 International Astronomy Union General Assembly "Highlights of Astronomy" edited by Cornelis De Jager, as a white-on-black image in Walter Herdeg's 1974 "Graphis Diagrams: The Graphic Visualization of Abstract Data", and then in the black-on-white style in Simon Mitton's editing of the 1977 edition of "The Cambridge Encyclopaedia of Astronomy. #factoryrecords #factoryrecordsfans #Russellclub #hulme #manchester #manchestermusic #punk #postpunk #postpunkmusic #darkwave #newwave #joydivision #joydivisionforever #shoehaze #goth #joydivisionfans #iancurtis #thehacienda #fac51 #tonywilson #peterhook #stephenmorris #bernardsumner #petersaville #unknownpleasures #martinhannett https://www.instagram.com/p/CetU8AhjImC7VA2BG5JgSijFWHQkdHQ8cy8kX00/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

From • @factoryrecordsfans In memory of the late, great and legendary John Peel who passed away 25th October 2004. John was a British radio presenter, DJ and music journalist, famous for his long-running show on BBC Radio One which highlighted alternative and underground music. He is particularly noted for his switch from more traditional rock to punk and post-punk music after 1977 and in particular for championing post-punk and new wave bands such as Joy Division, Siouxsie & the Banshees, The Undertones, New Order and countless more. His shows were also noted for the eclectic mix of styles and also for the regular 'sessions' in which bands and artists were invited to BBC’s Maida Vale studios to showcase their material with 'live in the studio' recordings of usually three to four tracks. In January 1979 Joy Division were invited to record such a session, the first of two and Peel was to become a champion of the band. #factoryrecords #factoryrecordsfans #manchester #manchestermusic #punk #postpunk #postpunkmusic #postpunklegends #darkwave #newwave#shoegaze #joydivision #musicphotography #joydivisionfans #iancurtis #thehacienda #fac51 #tonywilson #peterhook #80smusic #musicphoto#electronica #neworder #neworderfans #neworderforever #bernardsumner #gilliangilbert #johnpeel #thepeelsessions https://www.instagram.com/p/CkIkg62j12BrOBwu9PXZbWHiQMkkysJnNjNLkQ0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
