‘I bought this Joy Division bootleg the other day, and the strange thing was, the first track on it was recorded at TJM practice studios, ‘Shadowplay’. I know for a fact we didn’t even own a tape recorder, so I don’t know how anybody else can have recorded it. When I listened, it wasn’t from there, so I took it back and the bloke knocked me a fiver off it because the track list was wrong.’
