Aztec Camera talk about doing a bit of rehearsing.

Excellent document from Smash Hits, August 30th 1984. Features several band shots and a run down on their time in Manchester recording the 'Knife' album. An article also in which Roddy Frame reckons that Aztec Camera "don't really fit in with anything" and that he "can't be bothered with the pop star life-style."
Smashing stuff indeed.

Jim Reid : Fuck Fuck Fuck

Making a wee break form the recent flow of Paul Haig posts; Some more up soon. Here we have a pic of the youthful Jim Reid entertaining the punters at some JAMC show in 1984. Looks very much like a homemade-stencilled shirt there. Unless, of course, it was a shirt made by some overestimated, overpayed fashion designer cashing in like they all do nowadays. Doubtful. Fuck, fuck, fuck, indeed, Jim.
Love that so-awestruck-I-have-to-scratch-my-arm look on the (then) kid in the Joy Division tee.

Orange Juice : Salmon Fishing in New York (button badge - circa 1984-85)

An artefact from my badge collection. I've had this authentic article for nigh on 30 years now. Also have with a few other Postcard Records related ones. I've already posted pics of these badges before but the quality wasn't up to much so I'm updating them. Expect to see some more shots here soon.
