Joy Division’s forthcoming archival collection Eternal (Live) will arrive September 25 via Warner Music as a 14CD/2DVD box set documenting the band’s live performances. The release compiles 192 audio tracks from 16 concerts spanning March 1979 through May 1980, all mastered at Abbey Road Studios, plus over 150 minutes of previously unseen concert film. The collection traces Joy Division’s final fourteen months, beginning at London’s Hope and Anchor before the Unknown Pleasures release and concluding with their last show at Birmingham’s High Hall. Notably, the Hope and Anchor performance has been reconstructed from previously unheard audience recordings. Warner describes this as the band’s first official comprehensive live concert collection, complementing the 1997 Heart and Soul box set by presenting fuller versions of previously documented performances alongside newly discovered sources from venues ranging from youth clubs to European radio broadcasts.
