I have been wondering for the past few months when I was watching it on this site and (later) Item. At sometime during the video there is a man in the background standing behind an open door, crossing his arms, and bobbing his head during the music. Who is it?

P.S. I know that this may sound surreal, but the man looks like Ian Curtis' ghost. Again, there must be a logical explanation to my question.

Everyone knows that the man is indeed Ian Curtis's ghost. Nothing surreal about that. I suppose you never attended any of the "Haunted Hacienda" evenings?

you can see Any Robinson and Slim in the background of the video. I don't think you'd mistake Slim for Ian so it'll be Andy.

Cut and paste job from New Order Discography. By the way, where have TLV been? :scratch:

Q: Who are all the people in the Perfect Kiss video? A: [Jonathan Scott] "Other than the 4 members of the band - the first guy you see behind the glass partition is 'Slim' one of the bands roadies. (NOT Arthur Baker as stated elsewhere) It was 'Slim' who appeared as Divine at the Brixton gig when the band did 'Love Reaction'. Shadow number 2 is Andy Robinson. Andy is now part of the bands management team along with Rebecca Boulton following the death of Rob Gretton. I have often seen Andy on stage with the band 'sorting stuff out' but I'm not too sure what his role would have been back then."
