Any idea what part of April 1979 that Unknown Pleasures was recorded in? There were no gigs that month, partially due to recording and part due to Debbie asking Rob not to schedule any for the week Natalie (April 16) was due to be born. So what part of the month would it have been in? I reckon the early part of the month, but I may be wrong.

Smart money is on the first fortnight in April - doubt they will have got much done at the end of the month .

All I know it was recorded in four days, but I would put my money on early April too.

According to Debbie :

'There was much happening in the Spring of 1979.It seemed that everything we had planned was finally coming to fruition,from the birth of our child to Joy Division's first album.Unknown Pleasures was recorded in April 1979 at Strawberry Studios in Stockport'.
