4-track ep by Joy Division, which is actually the second John Peel recording with the band consisting of four previously unreleased tracks. It was recorded Jan. 31, 1979 and it had its first broadcast 14 days later on Feb. 14, 1979. All tracks are great examples of the band's strength, and they are brilliant versions of tracks found on the first album (#2 and #3) but also one track (#1), which was composed and played when the band's name was Warsaw, and track #4, which was released as a single only. The album was the first Joy Division release in the John Peel Sessions but it follows the first release by New Order.
The album is the 13th of the Peel Sessions released on Strange Fruit [SFPS013].
