ITALIAN AWARD FROM 1984. ‘Premio Diario’ Pop Award 1984 – New Order plus a photograph from the time of presentation.
The awards in this period were very rare, so we were more embarrassed than anything else. The picture sums it up. Turns out, the man who gave us the award was very famous as a DJ and record importer in Italy, and I found out 35 years later that he was solely responsible for the success of ‘Blue Monday’ there. He has had many documentaries made about him, but sadly died recently.
