Joy Division will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame this year, which happens to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the band's formation. To mark these occasions, the post-punk legends will be releasing their first official collection of concert recordings. Eternal (Live) is a robust 14-CD set containing audio from 16 live performances.
Those who've already dived deep into Joy Division archives will be pleased to learn Eternal (Live) contains two previously unreleased shows, from London's Hope & Anchor and Acklam Hall. They're also offering three previously unheard recordings from Manchester's famed Factory and the London venues Lyceum and Moonlight Club. Also in there: The group's final live performance, a 1980 gig at High Hall in Birmingham, which features their only live performance of "Ceremony."
In addition to the audio, Eternal (Live) has two DVDs containing over two-and-a-half hours of concert footage, including the previously unseen gig at Plan K in Brussels concert plus two full performances and a soundcheck from Manchester's Apollo Theatre that were partially released on VHS in 1982. There's a new edit of Joy Division – A Malcolm Whitehead Film as well.
Along with the announcement today, Joy Division have offered up the recording of "Transmission" from Les Bains Douches in Paris. Listen below.
