FAC 36 (TFRP No. 78)

A number of you have requested a close-up version of FAC 36, the US ad campaign for Joy Division's "Closer"... so here it is!

 

FAC 36 was the advertising campaign for the US release of Joy Division's "Closer" LP (FACTUS VI). The main thrust of the campaign was a series of three press ads in "Rolling Stone", which was the leading American rock magazine at the time.

 

The ad, in this case page 37 of the June 11th, 1981 issue of "RS", can be seen in close-up detail here. One presumes it was designed by Peter Saville.
