Jon Savage and Linder published the art fanzine "The Secret Public" in Manchester during the first month of 1978. It was the second New Hormones product - catalogue number ORG 2 after the Buzzcocks' already iconic "Spiral Scratch" - and was distributed through Rough Trade and other independent outlets. This was followed by the portfolio "Mixed Media Montages" published in late 1978. Some of these images originally appeared as flyers and as posters for the Buzzcocks, Joy Division, Magazine and Factory Records circa 1977-1980". This luxe publication reproduces in a far more elegant format the twelve original photo collages from the 1978 original as full page silkscreens, each numbered in the lower right-hand margin and SIGNED in pencil by Jon Savage on the six images of his own artwork, as issued. A brand new, pristine NUMBERED (32/40) example. Inventory Number: 022893
