JD Recycle 3: Transmission
JD Recycle 3: Transmission"Transmission" and "Novelty," by Joy Division, remastered by the folks at Recycle who did such a wonderful job on the New Order singles.
Tracks 3 and 4 feature the recently discovered rough mixes of the two songs, and contain different lyrics:
Tracks 3 and 4 feature the recently discovered rough mixes of the two songs, and contain different lyrics:
The first true kickass JD track, Transmission and its sibling Novelty were recorded twice by Martin Hannett. The first attempt is captured on tracks 3 and 4, here in never-before-heard quality. These were recorded in July 1979 at Manchester's Central Sound Studios, and as the title implies, are presented here as "rough mix" versions. As far as we know these are the only versions that ever made it out from the masters. Two other tracks recorded at the same session, Dead Souls and Something Must Break, are on the Heart And Soul box set - though in lesser fidelity.
And track 5 is an extremely rare (i.e. we have never heard it) studio version of Atrocity Exhibition that has also been recluded until now. Check out Recycle for more details.
These guys are professionally remastering old Factory singles, hoping a label will notice both the beauty of the music, and the popularity of the bands, and release quality remasters for the first time.
So, enjoy! As usual, this is amazing work from the Recycle team.... three never-before-heard Joy Division songs, two beautifully-restored vinyl conversions... obtain the goodness!
