A New Order 'Untitled' tour book / one-off magazine / lookbook made for New Order's US Technique tour, with photographs of the band including Tony Wilson, Rob Gretton, etc. by Donald Christie, twenty four numbered plates. The book was never properly distributed, as it was not published in time for the tour because Saville was deliberating over the design. Extracts from ShowStudio interview, 2016 … Lou Stoppard: What is New Order Untitled? Peter Saville: Well, Lou, it is not a magazine. LS: What is it then? PS: I’ve never been able to come up with a word for it - it was a one-off thing. It’s called ‘Untitled’ because it had no specific purpose, and therefore it had no specific title. It was 1989, and New Order were about to go on tour in the US, so I suggested doing a kind of ‘book’ which could be sold on the tour - so you could call it a tour book. LS: You missed the deadline didn’t you? PS: Yes, of course, ironically, it was late. I just carried on working on it because I didn’t think it was finished, and then they got to the last week of the tour and it still wasn’t finished. I think we managed to get a few hundred to wherever they were. I think we made about 1000 in total. It was just a little bit more difficult than I thought. There was editing, there was the printing of the photographs. I was notorious in those days for deliberating over things. I wanted it to look effortless but of course it was not effortless at all. LS: Do you like New Order Untitled? Are you proud of it? PS: I love it. It’s interesting. It’s amazing it happened at all, because so many things like that do not happen. I suppose the Internet is the thing that finally occurs that allows people to do things like this. Really Untitled is a blog. Untitled is that impulse to share something with other people but without having to concretise it into a product which has to be viable business. A blog is a great way to understand it, or an Instagram feed…
