New Order poster - 1963. Original
New Order poster for the single release 1963
New Order's lyricist Bernard Sumner wrote a tongue-in-cheek account of some lyrics that relate to the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. Sumner's lyrics theorise that Kennedy arranged for Lee Harvey Oswald to shoot his wife so that 'J.F. could have an affair with Marilyn Monroe'. The producer Stephen Hague has referred to the song as 'the only song about domestic violence that you can dance to'.
The '1963' single was originally released as a B-side to True Faith in 1987 and appeared on the Substance compilation of the same year. It was then released as a single in January 1995, in a radio mix by Arthur Baker.
The black and white video for the 1963 single features actress Jane Horrocks, famous for playing the secretary in Absolutely Fabulous.

FAQs
Are Your Posters Original?
Yes — all of our posters are 100% original promotional prints from their respective release periods. Many date back to the 1990s and early 2000s, with some still preserved in their original paper wrapping.
Are Your Posters Reprints?
No — our posters are original prints produced during the 1990s and early 2000s using the traditional offset printing method, known for its bold colours and consistent quality.
Modern reprints are typically digitally printed, which can vary in colour and finish. Under magnification, offset printing reveals a distinctive rosette-style dot pattern, while digital prints appear more random.
