[youtube 3Ii8m1jgn_M nolink] This is exactly why this interweb thingy was invented: this is the earliest ever recording of the song 'love will tear us apart' by the mighty Joy Division on the John Peel BBC radio show in 1979. It leaked just 2 days ago, but I reckon it's an official release to coincide with the Anton Corbijn 'Control' film. The footage from this clip is taken from two performances around that time: one in Manchester and one in Brussels (Plank).

After the jump: the best cover of all time: Susanna & the Magical Orchestra and their haunting rendition of this song + the original video + some live Joy (all highly recommended).
