LIMITED EDITION 10 TRACK CD: Featuring 'Pictures In My Mind'; an unfinished Joy Division track unearthed from a session tape and completed by The Light. The song's energetic punk tones place it between Warsaw and Unknown Pleasures. Mindful of Ian Curtis' maxim that once started a song should always be finished off, Hooky takes the vocal and wraps up the track. Rowetta's unique renditions of Joy Division classics 'Insight', 'New Dawn Fades' and 'Atmosphere' complete the quartet while Instrumental versions of all four songs lay bare the production and serious musicianship at play across the EP.

Press
'Pictures In My Mind' is a worthy addition to the Joy Division canon.
—Mark Radcliffe, BBC RADIO 6 Music
Very effective and if anyone’s going to do a Joy Division song it might as well be someone who was in them... that song (Pictures In My Mind), the unfinished Joy Division song I actually really like. It sounds like The Seeds or something from the Sixties.
—David Quantick, BBC RADIO 6 - Steve Lamacq’s Roundtable
Rowetta's rich, soulful singing brings a fresh nuance to Joy Division's 'New Dawn Fades,' 'Insight' and especially 'Atmosphere.'
—George A. Paul, Orange County Register
(On Atmosphere)....Rowetta brings a new serenity and grace to a stunningly beautiful song many might have thought uncoverable.
—Dave Simpson, The Guardian
