Joy Division are the perennial cult post-punk band. Author/TV broadcaster Paul Morley knew Joy Division best – he was the only journalist permitted to view Ian Curtis’s corpse, was present when Curtis suffered his life-threatening epileptic seizure following a London concert in April 1980, and wrote extensively and evocatively of the ‘mood, atmosphere and ephemeral terror’ that enveloped this unique group. These are his complete writings on Joy Division, both contemporary and retrospective.
