*Media Alert - Joy Division*

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

*ahem* We've got a policy against sharing / weeding anything that's an "official release". (Or non-Sisters material come to think of it.)

We don't want to get into trouble with the BBC's copyright lawyers.

That's not to say that someone who records the show might decide to drop you a PM and offer you a copy, but the "staff" here can't do anything to prevent that, if you get my drift.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Whoops, sorry Mark, I wasn't aware of that policy in this context, but it makes perfect sense. Shall I delete my post or do you remove it?

Bought them yesterday, and pretty cool they are too. A coupla niggles, as - similarly to the Sisters - the JD back catalog has been the victim of a few crimes in the past.

Still no Twenty Four Hours on the live part of Still (although the booklet notes indicate that it will be made available online at some point in the future - hopefully not in crappy MP3 format and for extra €£$ though). Ceremony is still cut short, too.

The interesting news that Ice Age has always been mastered too fast. Again, to be rectified by an online version.

The omission of a substantial part of the back catalog - none of the singles are present there, and the failure to reissue Substance in such a nice package only makes it worse.

Otherwise, they are very very nice things indeed! :D
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

It was QI, The IT Crowd, or this. I chose QI, and it wasn't as good as I'd hoped.
