1982 Volume 2

WY Hearing these live versions made me hear the studio versions on Sea of Unrest differently. That said, the highlight for me is "India," which isn't on any other albums. Ricky's vocals (which I understand were improvised, including the lyrics) teeter on the brink of disaster without ever going totally off the rails. His phrasing is something else -- more like a guitarist's than your standard rock vocalist (though Ricky was never your standard rock vocalist!).

Leading Stolen Horses
by Glorious Din

supported by 4 fans who also own “1982 Volume 2”

Glorious Din have a special place in my heart, being one of the non-massive post-punk bands I got into. The vocals recall Ian Curtis, and I really love the drums on all tracks. If Joy Division is what a normal person would put to add some moody postpunk flair to a soundtrack for a "cool" youth film, the heads would put down some Glorious Din. AtlantaDrifter
