Cult classic picked up yesterday in Durham. Blue Monday's sleeve, die cut floppy disc style designed by Peter Saville, was that expensive to produce Factory Records lost 5p on every record sold. They weren't bothered as they didn't think it would shift that many. It went on to sell approx 1.5 million copies.
The sleeve itself featured no words or labels (bar Factory Record 73 down spine) and the colour coded shapes down the side had to be deciphered using a guide on the Power Corruption & Lies album...
