“Adidas produced a limited-edition pair of Haçienda trainers, designed by Yohji Yamamoto (Saville has worked with Yohji since the late 1980s, creating his catalogues and advertisements). They retailed for £345 but people queued up from midnight just to be first through the doors to buy a pair. The shoes disappeared in twenty minutes - all soled out.” JokeAdidasPeter HookHaçiendaPeter SavilleYohji Yamamoto Book:The Haçienda: How Not to Run a Club Source: The Haçienda: How Not to Run a Club
“The barrels were on a platform and to keep the platform level someone had shoved a quarter-inch tape box underneath it. I pulled it out. Covered in old beer and sweat and condensation, it was one of the master tapes of Joy Division's debut album, Unknown Pleasures. It made me smile. It was an absolutely perfect metaphor for the Haçienda. Joy Division had held the whole fucking thing up.” Joy DivisionPeter HookHaçienda Book:The Haçienda: How Not to Run a Club Source: The Haçienda: How Not to Run a Club
