This three-disc collection celebrates Joy Division's enduring legacy by bringing together an outstanding selection of live broadcast recordings and rare performances captured during the band's short but extraordinary career. Spanning the group's formative years through to their final months, these recordings document Joy Division at their most innovative and explosive.
Opening DISC 1 is a selection of live performances recorded for broadcast, including shows at the Moonlight Club in London and the legendary Factory in Manchester. Also featuring a handful of radio session recordings, this disc brings together some of the finest performances the band ever committed to tape.
DISC 2 presents two of the finest concerts Joy Division ever performed: the first at Bowdon Vale Youth Club, England, in 1979, and the second at Effenaar, Netherlands, the following year. The former is remarkable for its intimacy, capturing the band in the unlikely surroundings of a small social club, while the latter finds them at the height of their powers, with two albums behind them and delivering an exhilarating performance.
Closing the set, DISC 3 compiles rehearsal recordings, demos and rarities spanning the band's entire career. Featuring rough takes, early versions and classic songs taking shape in real time, these recordings provide a fascinating insight into Joy Division's creative process and stand as a vital document of a truly exceptional band.
