Orange Juice : Original artwork (1)

Some very exciting images of orignal artwork for a few Orange Juice releases have been forwarded to me by Scots post-punk. they belong to one Steve McNamee who picked them up for a song (indeed!) an an auction a few years ago. This one features the artwork for the 'Two Hearts Together / Hokoyo" single that was released in 1982. Artwork by Pete Watson.

More up soon.

Orange Juice, Bungalow Bar, Paisley 1980

The hits just keep on coming!
Another priceless document from the golden age of Postcard Records and of Orange Juice.


This one comes courtesy of
On The Verge of Want
who captured this excellent photo of Edwyn Collins at the Bungalow Bar in Paisley (Scotland) way back in June 1980.


If my sources are correct; other Postcard bands of that era, Josef K and The Go-Betweens, were on the same bill on what must have been a great night out.

Falling & Laughing (Original cover photograph)

I really can't thank enough @Scots Post-Punk for all the amazing photos and documents that turn up on his Twitter timeline -and which he always makes sure to post to me as well. This time we have the original photo of
Edwyn Collins, James Kirk and David McClymont that was used for the cover of Orange Juice's debut single, 'Falling and Laughing' on Postcard Records in 1980.

The photograph is by Peter McArthur and I believe, though I'm not really sure, that it's part of David McClymont's personal collection of Orange Juice artefacts.
