Umm, really?

What about this?

Well, if it's written by James Nice, it'll be good...

Oh, I agree! I just thought that press release was making a rather dubious claim. I bought the From "Joy Division" to "New Order": The True Story of Anthony H. Wilson and Factory Records book in '97 - 12 years ago.

If you want the Shadowplayers DVD, and you live in Manchester, go to Fopp as there are loads of them for £5 currently.

I bought mine in 1996. That was the first edition (Virgin) in a black cover with 2 flower-pictures in the middle. The first was coloured and the second was black and white.
