John Peel Sessions 1981-1982

"Truth", "Senses", "I.C.B." and "Dreams Never End" (recorded 26 January 1981) would be later recorded with Martin Hannett and released on Movement. The 1982 session caught the band still in search of a new musical direction. "We All Stand" and "5-8-6" appeared on the subsequent album Power, Corruption & Lies. The songs "Too Late" and "Turn the Heater On", the latter a Keith Hudson reggae cover, were only ever recorded for the Peel session, and neither were ever performed live. "Turn the Heater On" was known to be one of Ian Curtis's favourite songs‚ and it was for this reason that New Order recorded their version as a tribute to him. Ian's admiration of reggae artists, such as Keith Hudson and Toots and the Maytals, is mentioned by his wife Deborah Curtis in her book Touching From a Distance. These tracks were broadcast on 1 June 1982, though were presumably recorded in spring 1982.
