THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'A unique and thoughtful musical
memoir' Observer 'Gritty coming-of-age story . . . plenty of
anecdotes to keep us hooked, and his memories of Joy Division's Ian
Curtis are poignant' Daily Mirror Before he was responsible for
some of the most iconic drumming in popular music, Stephen Morris
grew up in 1960s and '70s industrial Macclesfield, on a quiet road
that led seemingly to nowhere. Far removed from the bright lights
and manic energy of nearby Manchester, he felt stifled by suburbia
and feared he might never escape. Then he joined Joy Division -
while they were still known as Warsaw - a pioneer of the rousing
post-punk sound that would revolutionise twentieth-century rock.
Following two landmark albums and widespread critical acclaim, Joy
Division were at the height of their powers and poised to break the
US, when lead singer, Ian Curtis, committed suicide. Part memoir,
part scrapbook and part aural history: Stephen Morris's innate
sense of rhythm and verve pulses through Record Play Pause. From
recollections of growing up in the North West to the founding of
New Order, Morris never strays far from the music. And by turns
profound and wry, this book subverts the mythology and allows us to
understand music's power to define who we are and what we become.
