Flyer for the Hacienda festive celebrations at the club 1988/89.
I only just found this flyer in a shoe box a couple of weeks ago and thought it was nice to include in my blog. Its a good example of Factory Records and the Hacienda’s graphic identity which was always visually strong and coherent. This always applied to everything the record label and club did, whether it was a new single or album release, a flyer for a new night or event, films or promotional material.
I remember the new years eve party for 88/89 was a pretty crazy one at the Hacienda and in Manchester generally. The year had followed on from the ‘second summer of love’ in 87, acid house and ‘raving’ had hit its peak throughout the UK in 1988 great times! Great Tune!
Something to listen to; Royal House (Todd Terry), Can You Party. Champion Records CHAMP 12-79, 1988.
