Free download: Joy Division remastered rehearsals


Joy Division fansite A Means To An End recently collected all the available audio from Joy Division rehearsals and set to work at remastering it. The cleaned up finished product is almost two hours long, and is available to stream below.  Grab a free download of the file here. Once Pitchfork and other high profile media sites get a hold of this story A Means To An End will probably have to pull it (much like the Analog Loyalist tapes a few years ago), so it's best to download the file sooner rather than later. Additionally, a more detailed tracklisting for the file is also posted on the site.

Meanwhile a remastered version of Joy Division's An Ideal For Living was released today for Record Store Day. As expected, a bunch of losers are already flipping the limited edition release on Ebay, which sadly ruins the spirit and intentions of Record Store Day.
