- It also neglects his pre-Joy Division work, especially the first Buzzcock ep (Spiral Scratch) and his showcasing of John Cooper Clarke's recorded poetry. LessHeard vanU 19:23, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- it also neglects that Hannett produced the first two Peel sessions for the Fall

- Yep, there is more to Hannett than Joy Division. My favourite of his works is with John Cooper Clarke - "I married a monster from Outer Space" is up there with the album version of "She's lost control" in terms of echo and delay. I remember reading somewhere than Clark's band the invisable girls were basically the live at the witches trial fall line up. That said the first two fall peel sessions are a bit scratchy, and imo not very good. Ceoil 18:40, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

It was June Fourth, 1976 and that night I attended one of the most important concerts in the history of punk rock, and new wave. It took place at the Manchester free trade hall, or should I say the lesser free trade hall, a small room upstairs from the free trade hall. I know a lot of people claim to be there that were not, but I swear I was there. I entered as Morrissey (later to become a member of the Smiths, and then to go on to a successful solo career) introduced the Sex Pistols, I originally came to see them, and the Buzzcocks perform. Turns out that the Buzzcocks were not prepared to perform, this was a big disappointment. A lot of people came who would later go on to become important figures in the music scene in Manchester. Tony Wilson was there, he would go on to form Factory Records, which Joy Division, New Order, and the Happy Mondays would later work for. Ian Curtis attended, he was the front man of a band call Warsaw, a band better known as Joy Division, he would kill himself in four years. I also met other members of Joy Division that would later go on to form New Order after Ian’s death, they were Peter Hook, and Bernard Sumner. Even Jon the Postman was in attendance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.176.183.15 (talk) 18:19, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Why do you seem to believe that someone reading the talkpage of Martin Hannett wouldn't know that Warsaw became Joy Division, the name of other band members, the fact that Curtis killed himself, or indeed most of that stuff... As for the Invisible Girls - my understanding was it was much the same group that backed Jilted John, with Hannett on bass and Karl Burns of the Fall (numerous marks) on guitar.

- read the first sentence again. what book did you read?
- What book? What Book? The only reason I didn't buy "Guillotine: A Factory Sampler" upon release was because my local music shop was selling it with a Virgin Records compilation (since it was also a 10" lp) as a package, and I had already got the Virgin lp (can't remember the name, but it had "Don't Dictate" by Penetration, "All Wi Doin Is Defendin" by Poet & the Roots, and "Oh, Bondage, Up Yours" by X-Ray Spex, and I still have it somewhere), plus the Spiral Scratch ep (second edition, not the original - sob!) with production by Martin Zero, plus Jilted John by Jilted John, plus the Joy Division Flexi discs, plus the Crispy Ambulance 10" single, plus... y'know, I was one of those southerner softies who were right pissed off when certain events got a factory pressing number - because I was not then able to collect the lot... Still got the 12" ep by ESG, though... What book, indeed! LessHeard vanU (talk) 21:45, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- Just a note, the Virgin records sampler was called "Guillotine", whereas the regrettably missed Factory record was the famous "Factory Sampler"... It was a long time ago. LessHeard vanU (talk) 08:31, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
