This gig, taped at the Warehouse in Preston, took place during the final round of UK dates Joy Division was to play before jetting off to the US. The live captures the band raw sound with Ian Curtis's haunting vocals.
Joy Division, originally named Warsaw, recorded 11 tracks in May 1978, now known as the RCA Sessions. The band was disappointed with post-production work and the deal fell through, and this album was scrapped.
Though not the earliest entry in the genre (which Eno makes no claim to have invented), ‘Ambient 1 (Music For Airports)’ was the first album ever to be explicitly labelled ‘ambient music’.
The Twilight Sad are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their acclaimed fourth studio album, Nobody Wants To Be Here And Nobody Wants To Leave, with a special limited edition Demos version.
To celebrate 20 years as a band, Nouvelle Vague reissue their 2nd album of bossa nova new wave covers, expanded with 9 rare bonus tracks on double vinyl.
