[sticker] "A band that was more real than most of us can still cope with" Live in Paris '79 Bonus tracks from Holland 1980. Notes by Anthony Wilson Facd2.61 [booklet] This is the second in a series of two. Paris, an unlikely twin for "Preston 28 February 1980". This cd is, of course, of it's time; not just late 1979 when it was recorded, as Joy Division beat up on their sound and vision to move implacably on, from "Unknown Pleasures" to "Closer", but also Spring 2001, the date of the release, reminding us, in the dog days of another culture, traumatised by synthetic rock and an increasingly aimless dance culture, reminding us what pop culture is and can be. Thank you Mr Mathers and you limp biscuit boys. But we can do it too. We can be real. And this band was more real than most of us can still cope with. Enjoy.
