[edit] Aliens reference

  • I added the aliens thing. Maybe that's how people made line drawings in the late seventies but the resemblance is beyond coincidence. No, I'm not going to scan and upload an image, but it's there on film for anyone who wants to check it out. It's totally where they got it from. The movie came out a few months before this album.....but look at the movie!!! (Gatesofawesome! 03:41, 21 September 2006 (UTC))
    • IMDB says it was released in the UK a few months after the album was released. —ShaneCavanaugh 17:23, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

a webzine called "wireless bollinger" is spamming wikipedia with links to their site. 59.167.131.204 (talk) 13:58, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] inner grooves

I have the US vinyl pressing (FACTUS 1). It has no etching on the "Outside." As for the etching on the "Inside", it is not exactly from "Disorder", the opening line of which is, "I've been waiting for a guide/ to come and take me by the hand".Cloonmore (talk) 23:41, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Is that the original 1980 pressing or a later one? The first US release definitely has both sides etched (see also www.iancurtis.org). Later pressings might well be different, Factory loved that kind of stuff.  Channel ®    23:48, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
I believe its the original US pressing. It was admittedly a long time ago, but I recall buying it circa 1980 or 81. Cloonmore (talk) 01:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
I couldn't find anything definitive on www.iancurtis.org, but Joy Division Central's description of the groove notations on the original US release matches my copy (http://www.joydiv.org/up.htm), that is, no etching on the "Outside".Cloonmore (talk) 02:30, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
