OTD in 1980: Feb 7, Joy Division's first full home town show for over three months. Tony asks me to do a poster; Rob asks me to DJ. Tony also asked Daniel Meadows to take photos - three of them here

Bought OTD 50 years ago: totally top notch UK psych, it’s got everything: birth to death storyline, great tunes, sound FX, musique concrete, full use of stereo, and a heartfelt finale
