- Released in 1987, 'The Peel Sessions' is a posthumous collection of live recordings from Joy Division's early career. This album showcases their evolution from energetic performances to the darker, introspective sound that defined their legacy. At this point, the band had already disbanded following Ian Curtis's tragic death in 1980, solidifying their influence on the post-punk genre.
