Album Notes
Joy Division: Ian Curtis (vocals, guitar); Bernard Albrecht (guitar, synthesizer, bass); Peter Hook (bass, background vocals); Stephen Morris (drums).
Producers: Bob Sargeant, Tony Wilson.
Recorded at BBC Studios, London, England in 1979. Includes liner notes by Dave Simpson.
The pioneering post-punk sound of Joy Division is experienced here with stark clarity and an up-front feeling that belies the somewhat distant production approach on the group's studio efforts. While the coming-from-the-next-room sound of CLOSER and UNKNOWN PLEASURES adds to the overall feeling of alienation that is a large part of the groups raison d'etre, THE COMPLETE BBC RECORDINGS offers something more immediate. In this live-in-the-studio setting, the cold smack of electronics, the bare desperation in Ian Curtis's voice, and the gritty post-punk rattle of the guitar and bass gain a new viscerality. Even such warhorses as "She's Lost Control" and "Love Will Tear Us Apart" gain a new resonance in this context."
