'' is a
Compilation of rare Joy Division songs, along with a recording of their last ever performance which took place at
Birmingham University on the 2nd of May 1980. The performance includes the only time the group ever performed the song "
Ceremony ", which later became a
New Order single. Another song featured is a cover of
The Velvet Underground 's "Sister Ray", recorded at The Moonlight Club in
London on the 3rd of April 1980. ''Still'' is a point of contention among some of the group's fans, because of the undeniably poor quality recording of the
Birmingham University performance. This is not aided by the fact that the engineer that night mixed the vocals far too low for the first half of "Ceremony", making
Ian Curtis inaudible and thus ruining one of only two recordings the band made of the song.
