Sadly spotted too late for Christmas, which is a shame becauase this Factory Records Postcard Set would have made an ideal stocking filler for the music fan in your life.

V&A Postmodernism exhibition ‘Sound & Vision’ Gatefold Vinyl
If you haven't yet been along to the Postmodernism exhibition at the V&A, we heartily recommend you make your way down there post haste. There really is something for everyone who loves the 70s to the 90s, from architecture & consumables to fashion & popular culture.
Victorian Collage Cards by Spotted Sparrow
Spotted Sparrow has produced the great Victorian Collage Cards range, which combines Victorian imagery with 1980s pop references. An unusual combination, but it works well.
There are eight designs to pick from, some more credible than others. As well as the Last of the Famous International Playboys design pictured here, I like the designs based on Love Will Tear Us Apart, Lips Like Sugar and You Spin Me Round (featuring a Penny Farthing). The cards cost £3.50 each which includes the option of having your own personalised message printed inside.
Go to the Spotted Sparrow website to see the whole range.
Joy Division Postcard Box Set by Kevin Cummins.
We have previously mentioned Kevin Cummins’ postcards celebrating the music of Manchester and Liverpool, but even more of a treat is his Joy Division Postcard Box Set.
Cummins is viewed by many as the definitive chronicler of the Manchester music scene, beginning his career at around the time that Joy Division started. This special edition box set features 20 of his iconic Joy Division images, reproduced as postcards and presented in hand finished box. Appropriately, the set was made in Manchester.
Buy it online from Polite Shop, priced £25.
