Description
An Ideal For Living: An History of Joy Division – rare tome!
This is An Ideal for Living: An History of Joy Division by Mark Johnson. A softback 2nd edition of this highly sought after Joy Division bible, on Bobcat books ISBN 0.7119.1065.0. In excellent condition throughout – two mild cracks to spine the only sign of any wear.
Tracing the story of Joy Division from their earliest beginnings as Stiff Kittens/Warsaw in 1976/77 up to New Order's 1983 record releases and live gigs, this is a riveting digest of official releases, gigs and unofficial recordings full of insights into the band and the world in which they worked. Explanations of record sleeves, inner sanctum reportage, and gig highlights (Peter Hook playing the bassline of ‘Dead Souls’ in time to heckling chants from the audience of one early gig). If the makers of Control didn’t consult this before writing the script, they probably missed a trick. Highly recommended for all serious collectors and dedicated fans and long out of print.
I’m selling a number of other Joy Division items, including the rare as hens teeth ‘Form (And Substance)’ book plus several records by the band, and many by other Factory artists including New Order and The Durutti Column.
