JOY DIVISION Warsaw + Bonus Tracks (Limited Edition 2026 UK/EU 17-track LP pressed on 180-gram Translucent Bright Blue Vinyl. Joy Division began as Warsaw, formed by Ian Curtis, Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook, later joined by Stephen Morris after original drummer Steve Brotherdale left following the band's earliest demo sessions. This record documents that pre-fame chapter: eleven tracks recorded in May 1978 for an album backed by two promoters intent on securing the band a deal with RCA, including early versions of "Shadowplay," "Transmission" and "Interzone," the latter built on the backing track of "Keep On Keepin' On" with the band's own lyrics added over it, "Transmission" written during the band's final week of rehearsals. During mixing, one of the promoters added synthesizer, hoping to give the band a more polished sound than their punk contemporaries, but Joy Division rejected the mix outright, wanting only guitar and drums, and the recordings were shelved rather than released under the Warsaw name. The RCA deal itself ultimately collapsed, and the band re-formed as Joy Division, going on to be hailed as one of the most important post-punk groups of their era before Ian Curtis's death in 1980 at the age of 23. This edition adds five further bonus tracks, demos recorded at Pennine Sound Studios in Manchester on 18 July 1977, with Steve Brotherdale still on drums. It is pressed on 180-gram translucent bright blue vinyl, presented in a picture sleeve with hype sticker, factory sealed).
