Joy Division Love will tear us apart BBC version

HD version available at http://cargocollective.com/jonathanbe...
The earliest recorded version of the song produced as a John Peel Session for the BBC in 1979.The original band footage is a mixture of a performance video shot by the band for the single release (minus the damaged shots) and live concert excerpts from Plank, Brussels and the Apollo, Manchester. .
We needed to do some tricky retiming and editing to sync it up with the footage which is from completely different versions of the song.
Odd to discover that much of the original performance video done for the single release wasn't edited properly with much of the shots of the band playing not cut accurately to the audio.

i actually prefer this version in certain aspects such as the more predominant, singular bass line and the faster pace.

First heard them in '79. Nothing like it since! Ian Curtis was a one-off, like Jim Morrison, but they pushed him too far. After 2 prior suicide attempts (cries for help?), there was no way he was ready to go on a US tour. He'd already left the band, but was coaxed into returning on an agreement they'd take a year off to just write new songs & record. He died on the eve of that US tour. Newer songs like Ceremony, point to even greater poetic splendours. This song is as timeless as Ian Curtis.
