"Power Corruption and Lies" Congratulations to the designer of St Ambrose's first Royal Mail Stamp Peter Saville attended St Ambrose 1967-1974
Some of the selected classic Album covers to be released as stamps (from L to R, from albums by Blur, New Order, Led Zeppelin and Primal Scream) October 2009: Former St Ambrose pupil Peter Saville's cover art for New Order's 1983 Album, "Power, Corruption and Lies" has been selected as one of a group of classic album covers to be made into Royal Mail Stamps
Fact 73: Peter Saville's 1983 cover for "Power, Corruption and Lies" Peter Saville's design for the album had a colour-based code to represent the band's name and the title of the album, but they were not actually written on the sleeve itself. The decoder for the code was featured prominently on the back cover of the album. The cover is a reproduction of the painting "A Basket of Roses" by French artist Henri Fantin-Latour, which is in the National Gallery of London's permanent collection. Peter Saville intended to create a collision between this overly romantic and classic image which made a stark contrast with the typography based on the modular, colour-coded alphabet he created solely for the band. It is also said that the owner of the painting (The National Heritage Trust) at first refused Factory Records access to it. Tony Wilson, the head of the label, then called them up to ask who actually owned the painting and were given the answer that the Trust belonged to the people of Britain. Wilson then famously replied, "Well, the people of Britain now want it." Peter Saville, Creative Director for Manchester Los Angeles Times, April 2009 : Peter Saville on the Manchester Revolution
