Listening to the reissue of Return of the Durutti Column and read this:
First released in January 1980 in a sandpaper sleeve, assembled by members of Joy Division, A Certain Ratio, and others. While Ian Curtis did the glueing, the other members of Joy Division watched a porn movie in the same room.
Grateful for this review in London Grip by Ian Pople: ‘Evan Jones can see that poetic truth has its own validities and that reaching towards that truth is its own ever valuable pursuit.’
