JOY DIVISION -STILL 2LP

Still collects outtakes and rarities along with a live set recorded on May 2, 1980, just over two weeks prior to Ian Curtis’ death. In addition to the atmospheric Glass and the haunting funeral march Dead Souls, the studio sides include four leftover tracks from the sessions for Unknown Pleasures, while the concert set includes performances of seminal tracks such as Transmission, Isolation and A Means To An End. Although neither as cogent nor as indispensible as the band’s two studio records or the Substance compilation, Still is nonetheless a valuable chronicle of Joy Division’s remarkable evolution, a growth charted by the inclusion of an early live cover of The Velvet Underground’s Sister Ray to the only recorded version of the hypnotic Ceremony, the ultimate Ian Curtis composition which later resurfaced as the first single from new order. Reproduced in the original book-bound packaging.
