The interview sections are interspersed with superb live performances from various venues through the career of the band including rarities from Dutch and Belgian concert performances and a couple of rare alternative studio outtakes. The eight page fold out full colour CD booklet contains lots of Joy Division images and a detailed biographical article on the band. Extremely comprehensive, extremely interesting, this is a must have for fans of the band.
