Got hold of this two days ago. It's an awesome book laying out the visual history of the band t-shirt. My only complaint? It's too brief. What's great though is that it covers a good deal of the early days showing Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel (1956) and The Beatles' Abbey Road (1969). I also saw a tee which I owned many many years ago but in white, the Rolling Stones' Steel Wheels (p.37). Total 240 pages including an index of the featured bands which is handy for quick reference.

Joy Division: Love Will Tear Us Apart

There's something tragically poignant about those 5 words. Perhaps it has to do with Joy Division's frontman, Ian Curtis's suicide in 1980. But where's the t-shirt connection? Well here it is. Preshrunk posted this 3 days ago when he featured Blanka, a UK-based online visual communication gallery and in particular this t-shirt from their 'time code' line.
It's a brilliant design featuring the track duration and below it, the song title. They've got in the same line, tees featuring other great bands as well. Check out Floyd (Echoes), AC/DC (Back in Black), Kraftwerk (The Robots), Sex Pistols (Anarchy in the UK), New Order (Blue Monday).
Now back to the music. Listen to the original version of the song here and a cover version by Susanna & the Magical Orchestra. Thanks to the AnfieldDevotee.
