[2] Preston 28 February 1980 was released on 24 May 1999 in the UK by record label NMC Music and 13 July 1999 in the US.

It was also released in a "boxed set", packaged with the Les Bains Douches album.

CMJ Music Monthly called it "an exceptionally intense gig that goes much further toward demonstrating the importance of the short-lived band".

[3] Pitchfork described the recording as "bafflingly low-quality", and the gig has supposedly been described by members of the band as "the worst fucking show we ever did".

[4] All tracks are written by Joy Division (Ian Curtis, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris and Bernard Sumner)
