Unknown Pleasures

Just half an hour ago came across a shop of exactly the same name (cd and vinyls, obviously): Royal Mile, Edinburgh. Chatted to the owner for a bit. IMO, Closer is just as good, but in any case they are two absolutely definitive albums, and I still listen to them with awe decades later. I suppose you know that Ian Curtis is buried in Macclesfield, if you're reading this thread. Must get round to visiting the grave, just to pay my respects, in the not too distant future.
Just a question, though. I've seen a photo of Curtis as a kid wearing the Shirt of the Enemy. Was he a blue, or one of those? Or did he not give a toss either way?

No inbetween with them. They are either fabulous and bobbins. Seen them 5 times on this tour and they have been ace most of the time. WHP was the only dud really.

Went to see them on the original blue Monday tour and walked out after two numbers,maybe should have given them more chance,watched the Glastonbury set and they bastardised every track to the point true faith was unrecognisable.
Yet on record one of my favourite bands.
Then again I enjoy hooky and the light playing joy division ,new order tracks live
