Paul Morley's "Joy Division: Piece by Piece"
Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2008 7:40 amI just stumbled upon this book at Barnes & Noble in Boston today. I didn't even know it was out...
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Joy-Division-Piece-Paul-Morley/dp/0859654044/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1203719637&sr=1-1">Joy Division: Piece By Piece</a> encompasses his complete writings on the group, both contemporary and retrospective. In addition to collecting all of Morley’s classic works about the band, the book includes his eloquent Ian Curtis obituary and hindsight pieces on the group’s significance, framed by an extensive retrospective essay, as well as his reviews of the films 24 Hour Party People and Control."
I love stuff like this that has the original unadulterated writings rather than solely retrospective commentary that might be colored with time.
