Preston Warehouse 28 February 1980

VINYL FORMAT. "Recorded mere weeks before Ian Curtis committed suicide, this Joy Division live date is one of the first of many impressive live dates to make the leap from bootleg to genuine release. Except for one side of the Still collection and one disc from the Heart & Soul box set, Preston Warehouse 28 February 1980 is the first proper live album ever released by Joy Division, and it's an excellent support to the argument that the band was one of the best live acts in the post-punk world. Complete with liner notes written by Factory Records' Anthony Wilson, and reportedly only the first in a widespread campaign of live reissues, Preston Warehouse is an excellent purchase." (AMG)
