Writers often cite Iggy/Velvets/Kraftwerk/Doors as JD's touchstones without mentioning the importance of Cleveland Ohio's Pere Ubu who's Manchester gig at Rafters in May 78 Joy Division attended influenced the sound greatly, check out the early Ubu stuff like Heart of Darkness and compare Hooky's bass sound with Tim Wright's.Also Allen Ravenstines synth was massively key. Sadly Pere Ubu are often written out of history.

I love Joy Division Curtis was a huge loss to world music when he departed us...Seeing real raw live clips like this one reminds me how good they were!

I have read your opinion on the history of Brit punk and later post punk and early Indie music that was prevelant in the late 1970s,you give a reasonably accurate account of what went on.The only point i would like to make is that the majority of KIDS at the time wernt listening to the NY Dolls or Stooges or even Iggy and then switching to JD as a Brit option.We were listening to Northern Soul.Bowie.Roxy.Kraftwerk.Dont listen to Malcolm Mcclaren or Google we wernt that cosmopolitan.
