Did Eldrich do a poster for levies jeans many many years ago...? any thoughts
I'd be inclined to think not.

There was Pete Murphy and the Memorex Ad, but I think that's as close as it gets

now it's Ian Curtis and Puma or Adidas ad.
this ?
or this?
there was a boots/sneakers with his lyrics if i remember correct. and as you can see i was wrong it's new balance
i'd actually meant 
's alleged levi's ad - i'd be very interested to find out what might have been the source of this, erm..., piece of info 
it's the first time i heard about those trainers though
. i think they are a bit freaky really - ian's lyrics aren't exactly what i'd expect to see on trainers

Honest, i saw it (the poster) in Manchester after the split after the Royal Albert gig in 85, the photo is of your man Eldrich, standing on a railway track, ripped jeans and "the hat and shades",cos the wife said to me "isn't that Elders on that poster?"..i will stand corrected no probs but it was defanetly the man....(no trainers tho),would be funny if it was flip flops tho....NIK, HELLOW BY THE WAY
Just been talking about the Ritz gig in Manchester 1984, think ive still got some bruises still,any how Happy Days...

Hello back atcha. 
IMO, if it was Eldritch, I have no doubt they'd have been using his image without his permission. And he'd have a) sued them, and b) had it withdrawn, post haste.
However, the fact that this bit of, erm, 'history' appears to be otherwise unknown leads me to believe that they were probably using a ringer. There were lots of pale skinny boys with good cheekbones and dyed black hair out there, and with the sunglasses it's easy enough to do a convincing body double.

Yeah, you're right, 7a7. If it was Von, everyone here would have seen it a million and a half times already.
