Description
This is a very scarce Joy Division 12" which has 3 tracks recorded when the band was still known as Warsaw. The background to this recording is (according to Neil Woodvine's privately published 1992 "book" (a stapled together computer print-out) entitled Joy Division):
"In May 1981 a most interesting item surfaced. An EP, or more accurately, a pair of EP's, titled 'THE IDEAL BEGINNING' featuring four unheard tracks, At a Later Date, Gutz, The Kill and Inside The Line. Released in excellent quality stereo, at first whether this was a bootleg or an officially sanctioned release was unclear. A little detective work revealed the source to be Manchester's Chaos Cassettes who claimed that it was not so much a bootleg as 'An underground collectors edition'. John West, the man responsible for Chaos releases said "We only had 2000 pressed so that it would remain collectable. It was done with the approval of the group's management. They did it just the same as they did the Sordide Sentimental deal last year. They did it just to show people what early Joy Division were like". Enclosed in a sleeve designed after An Ideal For Living the EP's were issued on May 18th 1981, exactly one year after Ian's death. A bootleg in all but name, royalties of a fashion were paid to the band."
These recordings have been counterfeited many times, but rest assured that this is one of just 1000 of the original 12" pressings released by Anonymous in 1981, and NOT some of the later pressings which mention Joy Division on the cover.
