As a resourceful 24-year-old photographer Anton Corbijn came to England in 1979, in part to photograph Joy Division, who were one of his favourite groups. This month Paul Morley talks to the cast and members of the band about the making of Control, his film about the life of Ian Curtis. Here's a handful of clips that demonstrate why the four working-class northerners became such musical icons.
1. The group make their debut appearance on the Tony Wilson presented Granada Reports with 'Shadowplay' in 1978.
2. Joy Division's first national TV appearance: 'Transmission' and 'She's Lost Control' were recorded live for BBC 2 show Something Else on 15 September 1979.
3. Dimly lit and grainy footage of the band playing 'Dead Souls' at the Manchester Apollo Theatre, 28 October 1979, taken from the 1982 Factory video 'Here Are The Young Men'.
