Titled Licht Und Blindheit (“Light And Blindness”) the pairing of Atmosphere and Dead Souls was accompanied by an essay by author Jean-Pierre Turmel that describes the act of performing onstage.Rather than get a release on their usual label Factory, Joy Division singer Ian Curtis convinced manager Rob Gretton to issue on the French imprint Sordide-Sentimental. The label specialised in limited runs of 7″ singles that came packaged in a fold-out booklet and had come to the frontman’s attention when they released a record with Throbbing Gristle. Curtis decided he’d like something similar for the two new Joy Division tracks that had been recorded.
