About This Site

In June 2002 I decided to join Marko, Erik and Øyvind as an associate on the Joy Division Central site. Much of the content from the Shadowplay site has now been integrated into the Joy Division Central pages, and you will find the latest information there. However, my songs and lyrics pages have not been transferred and will continue to be updated here.

I welcome any feedback, including details of any errors or omissions which you spot in my pages. You can contact me by electronic mail although I can't promise an immediate reply. Please note that I cannot help with queries about buying, selling, trading or valuing items. Most of Joy Division's official releases can be purchased from the Amazon.co.uk web site.

My own original work is copyright © Chris Warren 1997 to 2007. You may take a copy for personal use only. I make no claim to copyright in material which has been derived from other sources. While such material has been obtained from sources which do not claim exclusive rights nor place any restrictions on its use, no warranties are given that it is in fact free of any such restrictions.

No warranties are given about the accuracy of the information held on these pages, nor about its fitness for any specific purpose. This web site is intended for your personal enlightenment and enjoyment only. No authorisation is given or implied for the use of any of the material for commercial purposes.

Sources I have used for reference and cross-checking include the following:

• other Joy Division web sites (including some which are no longer in existence)
• books on Joy Division by Deborah Curtis, Claude Flowers and Mick Middles
• The Great Rock Discography by Martin C Strong (Canongate Books 1998)
• the All-Music Guide and other on-line discographies and reference sources
• many of the leading on-line music stores and on-line book stores.

I have attempted to verify all the material which appears here against a second independent source. In particular I have verified the lyrics against the original recordings rather than rely on someone else's interpretation.

I acknowledge with thanks the contribution of many people over many years to the store of knowledge about Joy Division. My special thanks go to:

• Bernt Rostad for his work in compiling the original Joy Division fact file
• Mark Price, Jan Erik Justesen and Øyvind Franck of Joy Division Central
• Michael Eastwood, Gary Gardner and David Walther, among many others
• e-mail correspondents who have contributed information and suggestions.
