WARSAW (pre JOY DIVISION) (1978 / 1995)

 
 
NEW LINK

Sorry for the long delay...
But I was both disappointed concerning fileshare servers that suck really and very busy as well.
 
At the moment I listen to JOY DIVISION alot and I thought I might delight you with a little bit of Punk history.
Before they renamed them, JOY DIVISION called themselves WARSAW.
Pretty punky compared to the later stuff that was more gothic.
 
Here's he album with bonus tracks...
 
(This time with zippyshare...)
 
01 The Drawback
02 Leaders Of Men
03 They Walked In Line
04 Failures
05 Novelty
06 No Love Lost
07 Transmission
08 Living In The Ice Age
09 Interzone
10 Warsaw
11 Shadowplay
12 As You Said
13 Inside The Line
14 Gutz

JAMES GRANT In A Broken Dream (2013)

 
 
Itunes:


Ebay auction of original artwork by Dave Kirkwood, proceeds to Teenage Cancer:


Info:
 
From James' Facebook:
In A Broken Dream
I did this as a Twitter/FB thing - bit of fun, record a cover version.. did it in a day in my kitchen. The idea for the song was suggested by Dave Kirkwood who I was involved with on the fantastic 3hundredand65 project in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust http://www.3hundredand65.co.uk/
The original is such a coruscating slab of rock, I felt I had to approach it differently.
There was something about it when I recorded it, I don't know, just felt like I'd captured,"something". I thought, why not release it? I've given away plenty of free downloads, why not see if folk will pay 50p, a quid, whatever..for it. Let's see what happens.
I had to get in touch with the original publishers, never having done anything like this before, so I sent them it. They called me right away and said that they loved it - that's why it's taken so long..been talking to them. As I say, we'll see..
It should be ready for download by the weekend, I'll keep you posted obviously.
It's a digital only release and will be available on itunes, amazon, 7digital, Spotify etc. etc.
Dave Kirkwood is a fantastic artist, he very kindly offered to do the artwork.
I think it's stunning.
This is a one-off. I've decided to auction this on ebay, all proceeds go to Teenage Cancer Trust. I'll sign it if the winner so wishes..http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130851237361

DIE KRUPPS with NITZER EBB The Machineries Of Joy (1989)

 
 
As I once mentioned in the EBM-post... EBM got me badly. And this is one from that particular time:
 
01 The Machineries of Joy (Wahre-Arbeit Mix)
02 The Machineries of Joy (Die Krupps Mix)
03 The Machineries of Joy (True Work Mix)
04 Join the Rhythm of Machines
 
I really had a good time I must say and not all of my friends understood the stuff. Even more as my roots are made of solid punk wood.
