We turned up just after the show started with a bunch of my vinyl bootlegs. I can't remember exactly what I brought along, but it was probably stuff like: Warsaw; Try To Cure Yourself; Atmosphere; Solitary Demands; Amsterdam; etc. (and a couple of New Order ones). It was a very loose affair! Click here to see the tracklist as listed on an old bootleg cassette

Part Time Punks on KXLU, January 15, 2009 (“The History Of Factory Records, Part I”) "Four hours of the music from Factory Records label you don't have to dance to. You'll also hear excerpts from Tony Wilson's book, interviews with band members & then-contemporary reviews & other sundry knowledge of the label, its bands, city & era. Not to mention some unreleased New Order & Joy Division tracks you won't hear anywhere else in the world (unless yer mates with Jon Savage). And even an excerpt from some of Ian's letters to Annik... " Included a previously unheard Warsaw rehearsal of "Inside The Line" and some rare New Order tracks. You may still be able to hear the programme here. Please note: the programme maker's claims of further unheard Joy Division tracks turned out to be mistaken
