Deducing the favourite Joy Division track of all time - Part 4 - Warsaw :shrug:

Remember you are voting for the Warsaw versions of these tracks!

You're going to run into trouble with the pedants on this one !

Well no, I wasn't thinking about you Ricardo. It was my little way of saying "half of this is wrong mate, the first eleven were recorded as JD, As You Said was recorded in 1980 in the Closer sessions, You're No Good For Me possibly isn't by Warsaw at all" without actually saying any of that at all, and shrouding the whole thing in ambiguity !

So where did the 'Movieplay' lot cobble together this album from?

Actually I always thought "You're No Good For Me" didn't really sound like a song title that Warsaw/JD would have used!

I take it that's the previously unreleased Metrolink Mix ?

If you are referring to the Blue Monday 1988 CDV - eve I would't use THAT as a beermat

No mate- I didn't mean THAT beermat - I meant the OTHER one... ;)

What's the deal on "You're No Good For Me" anyway?

I *did* notice that the recording has a different sound than Inside The Line/Gutz/At A Later Date/The Kill...but I never thought to question its Warsawisity.

I dunno, there's just something wrong about it. Plus Hooky denies all knowledge of it, and he's a bit of a historian.

True, plus is that the only song missing a count-in? Haven't got the CD to hand so I can't check...

One explaination I've heard for the song's absence from those early '80s bootlegs is that it was on the other side of the demo tape, and no-one noticed for a while (slightly dubious this one). Mind you, aren't demos traditionally 4 songs? I know there's no hard and fast rule about it, but most bands who go into the studio purely to record "a demo" only lay down 4 numbers, no?

Could this be no less than Ian's pre-Warsaw band? Is that even him on vocals? I think it is, but I can't say absolutely.

The guitar parts sound unlike what Bernard was putting out at the time, so I'm willing to believe it's Ian and a different bunch, but I'm probably also willing to believe in little green men...

If the singer of 'You're No Good For Me' isn't the same one as on the other four tracks, I'll gladly eat my entire CD-R collection... without any dressing!

The original release on the 1-sided single did have a count-in but this has been removed from the Movieplay release. The first time I saw it mentioned that the demo consisted of 5 songs was in the first History in Cuttings book but I'm not aware of the track being in general circulation till '87 or so...but if it's a fake then it sounds remarkably like the other demos!

Transmission, without a doubt.

I went with "No Love Lost". I was glad to see it was winning thus far.

no life at all in the House of Dolls

no love lost

"They Walked In Line" .... amazing passionate delivery in the vocals, as badly recorded as it was.

Living in the Ice Age?

Um...that song doesn't technically exist.
