Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division - Plot & Excerpts
J. Davidson’s. They also put music out on his label, T. J. M. Records. Come to think of it, he was the butt of a few of our japes, too, as were a lot of the bands in there. I think we reached our peak with the stinky toilet we found loose somewhere, tied a rope to and lowered gently from our window on the top floor, swinging it to and fro until it crashed right through into V2’s rehearsal room. When the Buzzcocks’ tour came along, Rob treated us to brand-new flight cases courtesy of Bulldog Cases in London, and we terrorized the whole place, locking people in the cases – usually one of a young bunch of fans from Chorley, led by our soon-to-be-roadie Rex Sargeant, who used to hang round watching us practise. We’d push them down the stairs, over and over again. It was a good testing ground. Sometimes Ian would have a ride but only with Barney’s crash helmet and gloves on because he was allergic to foam. We used to take him for a spin round the car park too. We liked Tony Davidson, actually.
