Joy Division man appeals for return of Ian Curtis' memorial

'Its ridiculous and very upsetting' says Stephen Morris of theft

Joy Division and New Order drummer Stephen Morris has spoken to NME.COM about the recent stealing of Ian Curtis' gravestone..

Hearing that the stone had been taken from its site at a cemetery in Macclesfield, Morris said he could not comprehend why someone would take it.

"I just don't understand why anyone would do it," he said. "You couldn't sell it on eBay - it's ridiculous and very upsetting."

He added: "There had been the [Joy Division] films (the 2007 'Control' movie and the recent eponymous documentary) so maybe someone thought they could cash in… or maybe it's someone who is a bit deranged - you'd have to be."

Ik ben er definitief uit. Transmission is het beste Joy Division nummer. Wat een emotie, alleen Ian Curtis weet dat zo goed over te brengen.

Lees nu een boek over Joy Division, Piece by Piece. Alleen het is niet zo'n interessant boek.

Factory Records' 30th Anniversary Feted With Box Set
Features Joy Division, New Order, Happy Mondays, OMD, Cabaret Voltaire, Durutti Column

Whether off the lip of a name-checking record store clerk, through such feature films as Control and 24 Hour Party People, or by way of some of the label's flagship acts, you've probably encountered the hallowed words "Factory Records" at some point in your travels.

But there's more to the legendary Manchester imprint and music culture institution than Joy Division, the late, great Tony Wilson, the infamous Hacienda club, and the whimsical assignment of catalog numbers: there's the music, of course, something A Factory Box Set will positively teem with when it arrives January 12 in the UK, courtesy of Rhino [via Idolator, confirmed by publicity].

Spreading some 63 Factory favorites across four discs in rough chronological order, A Factory Box Set indeed includes a healthy sampling of Joy Division and New Order, as well as representative offerings from New Order offshoots Electronic, Revenge, and the Other Two. But the set also finds room for other post-punk heavyweights and lesser-knowns (Cabaret Voltaire, A Certain Ratio, Section 25, the Wake, Quando Quango), Madchester staples (Happy Mondays, Northside), and even a few folks who would go on to bigger things (OMD, James). There through it all is perhaps the imprint's one true constant, the Durutti Column, who gets a track on each of the four discs.

Factory buffs may notice the conspicuous absence in the tracklist below of ESG, who are reportedly not included here due to licensing issues.

A Factory Box Set commemorates the 30th anniversary of Factory Records' 1978 founding. No word just yet whether this thing will get its own honorary catalog number, but hey, all this stuff did.
