Joy_Division Eternal_Live Boxset
Joy Division's Eternal - a 15-disc live boxed set - pulls together myriad audio sources from audience recordings to sound desk tapes to international radio broadcasts.
 
The set features 16 full audio concert recordings across 14 CDs, plus 2 hours 20 mins of live video on a DVD, recorded between March 1979 through May 1980.
 
Presented in a 12" rigid box, with the 15 discs in 4 x digipaks, with an additional softback 12" book featuring  liner notes by UK poet laureate Simon Armitage, as well as photography by band photographers Anton Corbijn and Kevin Cummins.
 
---------
 
Please note: audio quality across these sources varies widely. Most of the audience recordings sound exactly like what they are - recorded by a fan in the crowd - and multiple concerts have been widely bootlegged. Although under normal circumstances this might make for a sub-optimal commercial offering, in this instance we have every confidence that Joy Division fans will revel in these official bootlegs, and be overjoyed by the higher quality recordings, especially with those that are previously unheard.
