The old seats were still in place, except for a few that were torn off of their perches to allow dancing, if required. Again, another cavernous sounding audience recording,and again we are treated to a joint band version of "Girls Don't Count" for the rarity value. Due to cancellations, probably due to Ian's failing health, this would turn out to be the penultimate Joy Division performance, before.....well, you know what happened next.

]]> Love will tear us apart https://wpguerssen-test.odoo.rgbconsulting.com/product/love-will-tear-us-apart/ Mon, 27 Feb 2012 23:00:00 +0000 https://wpguerssen-test.odoo.rgbconsulting.com/product/love-will-tear-us-apart/ LP version on CLEAR vinyl in PVC sleeve with double-sided printed clear plastic insert. CD version is the mini replica of the vinyl version, in slim plastic case with clear insert.

 

"Love Will Tear Us Apart" should have been the band's most shining moment...instead it became their tragic swan song. Released just a month after frontman Ian Curtis' heart wrenching suicide, the song came to be seen as the unheeded warning of the impending tragedy.

 

This special edition LP features all three versions of the song that transformed Joy Division from mere band into legend. In addition to the original single version, we have two versions remixed by American producers Don Gehman of John Mellencamp fame (the "radio version") and Arthur Baker (who also produced a hit single for Africa Bambaataa around this same time).

 

The remaining tracks include "These Days" (which appeared on the original "Love Will Tear Us Apart" single), along with "Transmission" (their debut single released in 1979) and "Atmosphere" (originally released as a France-only single) in 1980.
