2015 three CD release. This triple disc collection contains 12 tracks from Martin Hannett Sessions by the original Joy Division, 16 Tracks from a live performance of the legendary Unknown Pleasures album by former JD bass player Peter Hook and his band The Light and a third disc containing tracks by some of their late '70s contemporaries, bands that influenced them and more.
Joy Division was one of the definitive bands from the rock culture. With their dark poetic inception and a sound marked by a new way of thinking about how music should be created, the Manchester band served as a model for countless artists. The Many Faces Of Joy Division shows the hidden world behind the group, their rare recordings, side projects, their influences and the Manchester scene where the band bloomed. With a wonderful cover art, remastered sound and extensive liner notes, The Many Faces of Joy Division is an album not only for fans but for anyone who wants to understand the influence (and enjoy the music) of a truly transcendent band, which made beauty out of sadness.
