This song was recorded June 4th 1979 at Pennine Sound Studios in Oldham. The other four tracks from this session were released on the “Heart and Soul” box set, but for some reason this track was omitted. It’s a fairly different sounding version of this song that was eventually released on “Closer.”

If you haven’t checked it out yet you should look at http://www.joydiv.org/ for almost anything you need to know related to Joy Division. They couldn’t seem to figure out what my mislabeled ‘Transmission’ ep was though.
