Joy Division - An Ideal For Living EP

This was the first EP and release that the British Post-punk greats Joy Division put out back in 1978. Prior to its release, the band went under the names Stiff Kittens and Warsaw. Its believed that lead singer Ian Curtish came up with the name Joy Division, taking it from a term used to describe prostitution wings of Nazi concentration camps in Yehiel De-Nur's book The House of Dolls. Thanks to the EP, the band were signed to the then newly formed Manchester-based Indie label Factory Records and release two albums. However they would disband in 1980, with the death of lead singer Ian Curtis.

Seriously

Tracklist:

1. Warsaw
2. No Love Lost
3. Leaders of Men
4. Failures
