A book of notes written by late Joy Division manager Rob Gretton will be published on 7 Oct. The book, published by Gretton’s widow, Lesley Gilbert, will also include a foreword by Jon Savage.
The notes within will cover such subjects as the making of Joy Division’s ‘Unknown Pleasures’ album, the US tour that was cancelled following Ian Curtis’ suicide and various ideas for the name of the band that eventually became New Order.
Just 1500 copies of ’1 Top Class Manager: The Notebooks of Joy Division’s Manager 1978-1980′ will be published and made available via www.1topclassmanager.co.uk.
