The Hacienda Must Be built

December 1983

Description: Factory Xmas card for 1983, reprinted for Factory Shop in 1990

Designed by Johnson/Panas, Manchester.

Status Very Rare

(1990 version with blue wrap round)

4 colour one-side printing on 4 sheets of card with printed wrap round.

400 produced; 300 mailed out. Later version, 500 printed

Original proposal was to make a pop-up Hacienda as that year's Christmas present. A visit to Pollocks Toy shop in London confirmed suspicions that the only company in the world that had the technology to make pop up books was in Chile.

No good for a quick turn round. A cut-out theatre was obtained from Pollocks and delivered back in Manchester to Trevor Johnson and Tony Panas. They came up with a construction kit that actually works. Do it with care and you get a perfect 3D of the dance floor and back wall with it's acoustic paneling designed by Salford University Acoustics Department, and even Salford, sorry, acid corner.
