PLEASE NOTE: UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE THIS SITE WILL NOT BE UPDATED ANYMORE!
As noted before, due to personal (happy) circumstances this site has only been slightly updated throughout the past year.
Somewhere in the (distant?) future I hope to continue maintaining it as I used to do, and who knows I might even get up-to-date with
it all again!?
As long as this website is being closed I also deleted the links to my email.
Thank you,
For all the latest news and updated information, please visit my old friends' website
Joy Division Central!
I hoped to add more the upcoming months, but time provides otherwise. Therefore I have decided to close the site until further
notice. It will not disappear (I pay for this webspace), but the information here is frozen as it is as I write this notification.
If you still want to leave a note or just say hi, I have opened a guestbook ...
Ger.

This discography is divided into five sections:
- the Joy Division discography part 1: singles, albums, videos,
and the most important compilation appearances
- the Joy Division discography part 2: all other compilation
appearances (plus a few remix versions)
Included are pictures of most sleeves, so please be a little patient, because it will take some time to load. - the Joy Division discography part 3: the chronicological list
of recording sessions,
including a link to a list of tracks/recordings not available on the "Heart & Soul" boxed set from late 1997. - the Joy Division discography part 4: the bootleg & tape file
Only bootlegs and tapes I own myself are listed here. - the Joy Division discography part 5: tributes - a list of known cover albums (with scans!)
(written by Mojo editor John Mullen, and originally only available on Mojo's website)
Go here to read the full interview.
This will NOT lead to the mojo website, because there the interview isn't available anymore,
but you will find a copy right here at "Here Are The Young Men".
As you can read in my sources list, I used some websites compiling my pages on Joy Division, a.o. "Welcome to the Atrocity Exhibition", maintained by Bernt Rostad. First this site moved to another URL, but later on it disappeared from the web. The only thing remaining I could find were text-based files on various locations, a.o. on the website's original location . Currently it can be read on the German e-zine "zine with no name" website.
My pages are not an attempt to redo the work done by Bernt Rostad, or anyone else. My only aim is to provide information on Joy Division releases, and their recording sessions, to give anyone searching for it the information I've been compiling through the years being "into" Joy Division (since I first heard "Love Will Tear Us Apart" somewhere in the eighties).
You are not going to find any stories on Joy Division or Ian Curtis, those things have been done (in print) many times, and I'm not going to tell the tale again. This doesn't mean you can't mail me if you have any questions or contributions.
For all Dutch readers I have here a rather interesting link to reviews of 'classic' albums, including Joy Division's "Closer" (maintained and reviewed by Hans)!
There are many more pages on Joy Division, as you can see in the lists of sites included in various webrings (see at the end of this page). For a long time, one of the best pages I've found though, were the original "Welcome to the Atrocity Exhibition" pages. Where have they been ...?
I know one of the important things on Joy Division, and especially Ian Curtis, were/are the lyrics, but they have been done in print over and over again. Numbers 5, 6, 11, 12, and 13 on my sources list already have included most of the lyrics in print. On the web many people have included them on their site(s). You used to be able to find all lyrics at the Shadowplay webite. This site is closed now, but has been archived, and will merge with the Shadow Factory website (formerly known as Joy Division Bootlegs)!
