Joy Division - Eternal [14CD/2DVD Deluxe Box Set]

Format: 14CD, 2DVD Deluxe Box Set
ICPN: 5026854859309
Release Date: 25 Sep 2026
Genre: Indie/Alternative

"On 25th September, Joy Division will release Eternal, a brand new 15-disc live boxed set.   Pulling 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 ca. 2 hours 20 mins of live video on a DVD, recorded between March 1979 through May 1980, just two weeks before Ian Curtis' tragic death.  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.   Following on from previous New Order Definitive Edition releases, Eternal will be presented in a 12"" rigid box, with the 15 discs presented in 4x digipaks, with an additional softback 12"" book featuring new liner notes by UK poet laureate and Joy Division fan Simon Armitage, as well as photography by band photographers Anton Corbijn and Kevin Cummins."
