JOY DIVISION (LIVE)
LEIGH ROCK FESTIVAL 1979 (RED VINYL LP) (OZIT)
180g red vinyl LP. Joy Division live at the Leigh Rock Festival in 1979, full performance. It has a gatefold sleeve with previously unseen Leigh festival images.
The Leigh Rock and Music Festival was a 3-day mini-festival co-hosted by Zoo Records and Factory Records, held in Leigh on 25, 26 & 27 August 1979.
Factory gave the event the catalogue number Fac 15 and the title 'Zoo Meets Factory Half-way'.
The roster included A Certain Ratio, Joy Division, Crawling Chaos, The Teardrop Explodes, OMD, and Echo and the Bunnymen.
The event was so-titled because the town Leigh is Half-way between Liverpool (the home of Zoo) and Factory.
Catalogue number also allocated to a poster for the event which was designed by Peter Saville.
New wave history for sure, but be aware of very rough, bottlegish sound quality.
