Could "Licht und Blindheit" be descripted and documented in its own page, not only in redirection to "Atmosphere"?
On 18th March 1980, two months before Ian Curtis' death and the end of Joy Division, the independant French Label Sordide Sentimental released two new songs from Joy Division ("Atmosphere" and "Dead Souls"). The 7 inches record was sold in a very specific three-fold poster. This release, considered as original by the band itself, is therefore the last official release of Joy Division "in activity". Following the death of lead singer Ian Curtis in May 1980, "Atmosphere" was published by The Factory as a single along with "She's Lost Control". The very suprising story of the original french release should be a great contribution to Wikipedia, as the last official release of the band before Ian Curtis' death. How does it come that a very confidential French label got this exclusivity? Why was it accompanied by this specific artwork? As documents, we have the story told by Jean-Pierre Turmel himself, director of Sordide Sentimental (read here in "Les Inrockuptibles"). The full story is also documented through its phisophical details here (read on a "revolutionary" website!). As a last exemple of multiple available resources, the magazine "Elegy" (issue 49, August-September 2007) published a testimony from Jean-Pierre Turmel, in a special feature "Joy Division" for the release of Anton Corbijn's film "Control". It was accompanied by some photos taken by Danny Dupic on 12/18/79 during the Joy Division concert at the “Bains Douches” - a concert just before which the band and its management met Turmel to give the record masters. The fact that only 1548 vinyls were pressed is also very specific to this unusual release. Jeplanche (talk) 12:51, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
