Warsaw [Joy Division]: An Ideal For Killing (2002)


This bootleg was released in 2002 and also, it seems, in later yers. The matrix runout on my copy indicate that is was manufactured by Eldorada Records inSpain. However, my exact copy is not listed on Discogs. The matrix on my copy is ELDORADO CMF1 - O 493-64 B DMM H.P. and ELDORADO CMF - O - 493-64 A DMM H.P., but my insert isn't printed on matte paper and there is no Made in Spain on the version of the jacket. Other pressings have a different matrix or no matrix listed. It may the one lacking matrix IDs in the listing. In any case, this LP contains:

1 Inside The Line 
2 Gutz 
3 At a Later Date 
4 The Kill 
5 You're No Good For Me 
6 At a Later Date (live) 
7 Novelty 
8 Warsaw
9 No Love Lost
10 Leaders of Men
11 Failures
12 Ice Age
13 Walked in Line
14 The Kill (2)

Tracks 1 - 5 from the Warsaw Demo session, 18th July 1977.
Track 6 Live: Electric Circus, Manchester. Taken from the Short Circuit LP.
Track 7 from RCA sessions 3rd / 4th May 1978
Track 8 - 11 from Ideal For Living session, December 1977
Tracks 12 - 13 from RCA sessions 3rd / 4th May 1978
Track 14 from Unknown Pleasures session April 1979

Discogs no longer permits sale of bootlegs on its site, so one has to look elsewhere for pricing. On eBay, there are a couple of copies, one for $42.34 (plus $21.35 shipping) and one for $64.73 (plus $63.29 shipping).

Here are the Warsaw Demo Sessions:
