Strangely enough I was playing this on Friday. A bit dated but still stands up well.

1983 Japanese 1st Pressing
Haven’t heard this Album for ages. Bought an excellent copy via Discogs in Japan and yes, it sounds fantastic. More than 40 years old but it feels like yesterday. Not audiophile but musically regarded a very fine record. Also with some good musicians like Michael Brecker, Toots Thielemanns, David Sanborn and many more. And these Japanese Pressings are always fantastic, perfect for a Sunday

In those dark days before the internet and Bittorrent I was an avid buyer of vinyl bootlegs – New Order, Joy Division, Floyd and solo, Zep, Kraftwerk. I bought my first bootleg LP in December 1978. Then from 1988 I started buying CD boots.
Most of the LPs have been superceded, especially now that new or early gen sources have come to light, but I still love 'em in their tatty way.

The infamous Joy Division “Warsaw” boot from 1980, on vinyl. I bought this around 1983/4 in Portobello Market, I think. The music came from the 1978 RCA sessions the band did for Richard Searling – many of the songs later ended up on Unknown Pleasures; without Martin Hannett’s extraordinary production, they sound very different. There’s also a bonus 7" EP in this package, containing the band’s first Peel session.
Some of the songs are too fast (a tape fault?), and since I bought this, much better sources have become available, but it’s fun to play once in a while.

I bet it sounds awesome Steve have just dug my copy on 12 " out seeing your post
Love the Naim logo dovetailing the Rega logo on your equipment
How is that 250 in your system doing ?
Probably all the amp you will ever need
Hope all is well with you on this Sunday afternoon
Cheers Ian

Hi Ian, sounds great but moved the 250 on, too much amp for my system, 100 doing me just fine.

I remember buying this famous boot from a guy in Camden Market back in September '82. It cost me £25, which was a lot of money back then, even for a triple LP in a box. I also remember being bitterly disappointed - both the sound quality and pressing were rubbish and I felt like a right mug.
However this was a famous gig, recorded in September '72 at the Hollywood Bowl. Nowadays you can get the show for free, in much better SQ and mastered at the correct speed!

I was in Camden in Sept 1982. Remember the Honest Jon’s shop there with reggae on the ground floor and jazz in the basement? If my memory is right, the White Noise ‘Electric Storm’ was also created next door/upstairs !

Thats really refreshing to hear about the 250 and it being to much in your system
Good for you for moving it on and having your system in a sweetspot with the 100
There is a lot to be said for synergy at your current level rather than the money pit of upgrades for small marginal gains …if you enjoy what your system gets right thats what matters …more enjoyment getting vinyl and CDs
I really like the compact size kit you have and the Rega turntable is just perfect

Wasn’t a huge fan of that album (especially title song) but to me the album cover, as simple as it may appear, says it all.
