1983 YMO 'Chaos' Japan Tour Book.

Dust wrapper somewhat rubbed. A very good copy.
Superb tour programme produced for the 1983 Japan tour of the electronic band Yellow Magic Orchestra. A refreshingly conceptual approach to the format of a tour programme where the design really runs with the 'Chaos' theme. Here brief shots of the band are located in a sea of experimental graphics and organic imagery. The programme is conceived by Comme des Garçons art director Tsuguya Inoue and feels very reminiscent of Inoue's work on the Comme des Garçons look-book Six.
