Hi, one of my friends tell me, that they was the best friends, of Ian Curtis who sang several times with them, and that a member was after Debbie, the first to see Ian hanged.
Can anyone confirm or deny this thing? know the story of "Joy Division" and Ian Curtis quite well, but certainly what I have seen or read about them, many books, also in English, but I never knew of a close friendship with Ian. Bern and Hooky, they produced some singles, but in the time of New Order, if anyone can enlighten me on the relationship between them and the Joy Division glene I would be grateful

I've never seen images of the poster insert... can someone please send or post images? I've owned this record for years and have always heard about this illusive insert but have never seen one!

This 2010 reissue seems to have a general problem. I own two copies I bought sealed with original sticker of the label, both have ugly traces on side a that do not affect the sound and some traces on song 1 of side b, as well as tiny damages on song 2 of side b that do affect the sound.

If not entirely for music, this record is worth having for the cover art alone. Well, depends on the personal taste (or lack of it). A strict yellow typographic outfront with amazing colourful pallette inside, it's a work of genius.
The music itself leans heavily towards Joy Division but don't be fooled by such connotations. Section 25 are not perfect but they charmingly fit in with their shades of grey - sounding naively smart and innocent, confirming their debut's musical identity.
The sound is raw, typically Hannett-ish, the vocals at times fall out of tune but they still carry out the hermetical effect complementing the compositions - among the highlights is undoubtedly 'New Horizon'.
In all, it's an impressive atmospheric debut recommended for occasional, rewarding audio-visual experience.
