Joy Division - the Ultimate Listening Guide

First published in 2005, but long out of print, "Joy Division - the Ultimate Listening Guide" is a gig by gig, session by session, album by album guide to one of the most crucial bands of the late 1970s. Exclusive interviews with all three surviving band members tell the Joy Division story, from the fortuitous first meeting at a Sex Pistols gig, to the birth of New Order four years later.

The Ultimate Listening Guide is a series of short (approx 40 page) guides to the lives, times and most crucial recordings by a wide range of artists.

Many are based around exclusive interviews featuring the artist’s own recollections and reactions to his or her unfolding career, and are packed with both personal information and key collector’s data.

For the past thirty years, author Dave Thompson has been a contributor to a variety of collectors publications, including Goldmine, DISCoveries, Record Collector, Spiral Scratch, Live Music Review, Big O and British Punk Collector. He is also editor of the long-running Goldmine record price guides.
