Great stuff and sound quality in comparison with the one we all know!
Enjoy!
http://thepowerofindependenttrucking.blogspot.com/search/label/Joy%20Division
Joy Division, over their short duration, had several studio sessions which never really saw the light of day until 1997's box set Heart and Soul, and even then, not entirely.
Your humble blogger's previous Joy Division entry contained several tracks from these sessions, but I decided to do a roundup-style post featuring the majority of these - some are already available on the box set, but others aren't, and at that some of these have never been heard before in this quality you're about to find here.
So allow me to present Joy Division: 1979 Miscellaneous Studio, pulling from three separate recording sessions, presented in lossless FLAC for your pleasure.
JOY DIVISION 1979 Miscellaneous Studio
(mostly unreleased, mostly remastered)
1) 4 March 1979 Eden Studios, London with Martin Rushent (the "Genetic" demo)
Four tracks previously released on Heart and Soul, but presented here slightly repitched and remastered
"Digital" never before released except on bootleg
01 Insight
02 Glass
03 Digital
04 Transmission
05 Ice Age
2) 4 June 1979 Pennine Sound Studios, Oldham (for Piccadilly Radio) with Stuart James
Four tracks previously released on Heart and Soul, but presented here remastered
"Atrocity Exhibition" never before released except on bootleg
01 These Days
02 Candidate
03 The Only Mistake
04 Chance (Atmosphere)
05 Atrocity Exhibition
3) mid-July 1979 Central Sound Studios, Manchester with Martin Hannett (the "1st Transmission session")
Two tracks previously released on Heart and Soul, two other tracks previously unreleased except on bootleg
"Transmission" and "Novelty" from this session never before heard in this quality
All four tracks taken from a previously-unknown source cassette, in "best-ever" versions - this cassette is suspected to be 1st generation mixdowns from the rough mix master
All four tracks presented here remastered
01 Transmission
02 Novelty
03 Dead Souls
04 Something Must Break

Excellent tracks. I wanted to post about these but I wasn't sure if it was ok to or not (I've not read all the archives (I know I should be severely beaten for that, pauvre de moi!) to get an idea of what goes and not and I've forgotten the rules (they did seem a bit gray, I thought (it could've been the contrast ''tho')).
I've not seen this mentioned else where (I hope the RSS works ok, as I try to keep uptodate via NetVibes (a dead good RSS reader,for those who don't know it (even for those who do know it, it's still a dead good RSS news reader))) so I might as-well talk about this site too (who are also connected to the Power of Trucking) where they are doing a phenomenal work on remastering the New Order singles (remember (probably not!), I'm not a great fan of New Order, but these tracks sound so different to the sound I know now that I wonder if they are not closer to the original sound that I knew then (I'll regret this later if I read my post again - and I'm sober too.)
So why mention it now and here (before I get kicked off the forum for posting in the wrong place (or for rambling on (or for excessive use of brackets (I could be accused of bracketeering))) - because after the New Order singles they'll be attacking the Joy Division singles! Now that should be interesting! Did I use up all the band width!?! (PS I like exclamations marks too!)

Not sure about the rules. Marko may kick my arse for that but this is amazing indeed!

Actually there was already a discussion started about the sessions at the end of the "new" concert recording.
WE HAVE NOT BEEN ATTENTIVE ENOUGH NOW HAVE WE!?! (Got my exclamation marks in and my brackets!)
