Anyone else have this record, the pink one that was just recently released by Factory records? Mine has this little swoosh sound on the last two songs, Disorder and Transmission on side A. Its been annoying me to death, I'm just wondering if this is the way it is supposed to sound or if mine just got messed up. Thanks.

its not factory, but a genine boot. factory went bust over 15 years ago. are you talking about the 2 disc set most of which is from 11.1.80? I'll have to give it another listen.

i still say boot. i had a look the tracklisting is slightly different to what i have, and my 2 cds aren't pink, but otherwise i'd say its the same gig.

If it was a genuine article do you really think you could buy it for $15 :scratch:

The only Factory Live stuff was Still.

Les Baines & Preston were released via a different company.

(I think ;) )

"Joy Division : Amsterdam 1980 US Unknown

"Amsterdam 1980" is rightly regarded by many as the definitive live recording by that most legendary of Manchester bands. Mastered from 25-year-old bootleg - so obviously don't expect high fidelity clarity - the quality is nonetheless remarkable and is matched by the extraordinary content. A dozen songs capture Ian Curtis' haunting, iconic intensity and the band's sheer dedication. Classics such as "Transmission", "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and "She's Lost Control" are relayed with a raw energy that studio recordings can never replicate, culminating in a sombre yet euphoric rendition of "Atmosphere".

Ltd LP - FACPRO2 Very limited edition pressing on green marbleized vinyl. Full colour sleeve artwork with insert poster."

Released either 2005/2006 in either black/green/pink vinyl - you can still get the above from Picadilly Records

I would put money on it being a bootleg, especially as I found this info:

"AMSTERDAM (LP) FAC(PRO1) A&B 1981 / (CD) FAC(PRO1) A&B 1990

Tracks:

  1. Digital

  2. Day of the lords

  3. Insight

  4. New dawn fades

  5. Disorder

  6. Transmission

  7. Love will tear us apart

  8. These days

  9. Means to an end

  10. 24 hours

  11. She's lost control

  12. Atrocity exhibition

    ** Recorded live during their famous Paradiso-gig in Amsterdam on January 11.th 1980. Only info on the CD is the track-listing. Made in Italy, the sound- quality is excellent **"
