Sadly I think not. They look to be one of those Grey Labels that put out Radio/FM recordings of classic bands
I'd say the probability here is that it's Bains-Douches/Preston/Paradiso....again

Any requests?
Anyone hoarding anything we should know about?
Is there any news to impart? Christmas will be here before you know it...
We’re doing a Joy Division box set to celebrate 45 years of Ian Curtis’ life. Who’d have thought that I’d be here 45 years later talking about the idea of Joy Division getting into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame? They literally only existed for less than two years. It’s amazing what we achieved and what Ian has created for generation after generation of kids who were just like us: mixed up, confused, didn’t know what the world and the future held. They rely on that music to get them through, exactly the way that I did with The Doors. It’s wonderful to be a part of that.

Unheard JD live recording just popped on Youtube:

Yeah. Saw this earlier today, but thanks for posting.
Incredible that things still get found all these years later.
What is a little odd is that, I think, there’s reference to the band playing Exercise One and Transmission at this gig; neither of which appear on this recording. Also, the set seems very short, especially when comparing it to other sets from the Buzzcocks 1979 tour (for instance, the two Apollo gigs). Could be due to Ian’s health, but I don’t think it’s ever been stated that this gig was a particular problem.
Still, fantastic to get a ‘new’ gig. Been years since we had a JD one.
