Originally posted by Al Jarvis Where's Paul Young's (Luton's finest) infinitely superior version??? ;)Dunno if anyone's read Rules of Attraction (I thought I'd give it a re-read before seeing the film) but Bateman mentions dancing to Joy Division's LWTUA, but then realises it's not Joy Division at all, it's a poppier version (presumably Paul Young's?).. .

when I was a small boy I used to listen to 'No Parlez' (great title). And LWTUA again and again.

It was only years later I realised it was a JD song.

I like PY's voice, and I don't mind his version (resplendent with Pino Palladino bass chorused to space and back). Not sure its my favourite though.

But Al, which version 'nowadays' is 'more' poppy?

:hat:

the 7inch A side is beautifull 10 points for Martin Hannett on that one

In the Peel session version, Hooky plays bass in a neworderish manner, while Ian sings without counterfeiting his voice to sound like Sinatra... but just with his own emotions ! That's why this version is my favourite.

This lyric was made by Ian, and only is LWTUA in his voice. All the versions are wonderful, but the one in John Pell Sessions 1979 is the best one.
