Paul McCartney: Citi Field

Paul McCartney Citi Field Poster

In 1965 the Beatles christened Shea Stadium with its first ever concert. Forty four years later, Paul McCartney played the first concert at Shea Stadium’s replacement, Citi Field.

A review of the show can be read on Rolling Stone.

The ad buy included a Long Island Expressway “Domination”—which is what the site is actually called. The CBS Outdoor website reads like a list of war crimes. “Choke point”, “Domination”, “CBS RIOT”, “beyond body counts”, all a bit frightening, really.

The titling on this is a customised Odessa.

Morrissey: Something is Squeezing My Skull

Michael Muller shot Morrissey on the grave of Johnny Ramone for this cover.

The CD two inner bag carries a reproduction of the Camden Town engine house which eventually became the Roundhouse—where the Ramones first played the UK in 1976. There’s a great seven-minute long doco about this show you can watch here.

Morrissey: Maladjusted reissue

Pat Pope took these shots of Morrissey in front of the Alone in London hostel on the corner of Kings Cross and St. Pancras Pentonville road which were used for the Maladjusted reissue.

The hostel is still there and is still committed to helping homeless youth in London but the sign has since been replaced with one with a modern logo. More information about Alone in London can be found here.

As much as we wanted to stray from the School of “Go-To” Albion Typography nothing quite says London like Gill or Johnston do and why avoid clichés just for the sake of avoiding clichés?

We went with Farey and Dawson’s gorgeous re-imagining of Johnston’s original for its more modern take and for the italics that are available for it. Titling was done in a modified P22 Johnston Underground for its rawer character.

To further reinforce the London connection a vintage map was licensed for use on the end papers. The map is cropped to run from Fulham to beloved East London, albeit on the inner pocket of the wallet.
