Unknown Pleasures – Inside Joy Division

This one isn't that rare, saw it some years back . Who's the other guy with them?

I've seen the carousel pic of JD above, using Google image search.

Maybe he was a journalist who happened to be with them on the day,

from one review I have read of it seemingly the book is full of anecdotes like the time they played a gig in Preston and didn't get paid so instead the merry pranksters stole 30(?) frozen chickens from the venue...

It wasn't all doom and gloom you know..

the other guy on the carousel is twinny, joy division's roadie & hooky's best friend...

Cheers Jack , did wonder if twas Twinny

Just ordered the book, £10 on Amazon with free delivery. I also ordered a new balaclava (with peak)while i was on there.

And this is it

Ace.

Yes a very good idea indeed!

Yep, I WILL NOT BUY THIS BOOK UNTIL LOST SIRENS HAS BEEN RELEASED. Please take note Mr Hook.

HMV have an exclusive edition on their site, but they didn't include any info on it. Does anyone know what is exclusive about their edition?

On Amazon UK there are two versions of the hardcover edition. One costing £10 and the other costing £15.74, the cheaper one seemingly has 336 pages whilst the dearer option has 368 pages and a more attractive cover.

By the way While browsing on the Wasterstones site I came across this especially for those who wish to boycott the Hooky Book..I Thought it had sold out..

No, it's The Eternal.

I recall him saying Atmosphere was the song he was most proud of... maybe that's not the same as his favourite 😕

I think the LTD edition may just be a slightly different dust jacket,will ask the question and report back.

So be it. There's been enough stuff written already.

Guardian Review - Link... (For those who aren't boycotting the book..)

Cheers for the link, can't wait to read it

Is there really anything else to say? The JD doco did it all a few years ago.

I bought it yesterday in HMV - (Hardback @ €13) I started reading it last night and just finished it a while ago.

I don't see how anyone who is a fan of JD/NO could not find it an engrossing read.. But you can all judge for yourselves....

BTY - There is a typo on page 286 "always" is spelt "alaways" 😈

It's not released until 27th on iTunes. I might buy it then.

I leafed through it in Waterstones yesterday. It was reduced by £5 and every page I looked at had a story about urine.

I only looked at about three pages though.

Strangely, as I was walking back to the car, Hooky drove past me. He never let on.

is it just me or does anyone else find the title a bit double entendre-ish?

It didn't cross my mind.

You're surely referring to Albert Speer's book?

There is a lot in the book about the "japing" that went on alright, or "Team Building" as it would be referred to nowadays...

There was a bit of thieving going on back then aswell - and not the thieving of riffs either..
