Still is a posthumous double album by Joy Division, consisting of previously unused/unavailable studio material and live recordings, including the track "Ceremony", which later became a New Order single. Tracks A1, A5, B1 and B2 were recorded in April 1979 at Strawberry Studios, Stockport, during the sessions for "Unknown Pleasures". Tracks A2 and B4 were recorded in October and November 1979 at Cargo Studios, Rochdale, during the sessions for "Licht und Blindheit". Track A3 recorded in January 1980 at Pennine Sound Studios, Oldham, during the sessions for "Love Will Tear Us Apart". Track A4 recorded in October 1978 at Cargo Studios, Rochdale, originally released on "A Factory Sample" in 1979. Track B3 recorded in July and August 1979 at Strawberry Studios, Stockport, during the sessions for the "Transmission" single. Track B5 was recorded at the Moonlight Club, London on 3 April 1980. Tracks C1 to D5 were recorded at High Hall, Birmingham University on 2 May 1980. Initially planned for release in August 1981 (hence the 1/8/81 on the centre labels), this was actually released on 8 October 1981. - The "hessian" hardback cover with white or blue ribbons and grey labels was the initial release in an edition of 5000 copies. - A cardboard embossed gatefold cover with cardboard inner sleeves, open to the centre, grey labels, also released in October 1981. - A special / limited gatefold edition in white cardboard with blue letters, and with white/blue centre labels was issued in December 1981 (believed to be one of Factory's Christmas gifts). The album peaked at #5 of the UK album charts, staying in the Top 100 for 5 months, hence there are several reissues / represses, with altered packaging. The song "Twenty Four Hours" was also performed live at Birmingham University, but was left off the CD release due to time constraints. Despite not being listed on the sleeve, it appears on some releases as track C6. UK re-releases and re-pressings: April 1986: LP, MC, CD (cat# FACT 40 / FACT 40c / FACD 40).
