Preston 28 February 1980 was recorded live
at The Warehouse in Preston, England. The set
was wrought with system failures: amps failed,
instruments went in and out of key, at one point
Ian Curtis exclaimed, “I think everything is
falling apart!” Somehow, despite all of this, the
band carried out an extraordinary performance.
The roughness of the bass and the waning amps
only add to the intensity and gloom, creating
a performance that is just as haunting as it is
unforgettable. Drastic Plastic Records is honored
to have worked closely with Joy Division’s
management in order to present this seminal live
recording in this beautiful, superbly mastered vinyl
pressing, the only vinyl release currently available
of this title to be officially sanctioned.
