The artist known as Warsaw was the early incarnation of the iconic band Joy Division. They used this name during their early performances and recording sessions for their first EP, "An Ideal for Living". Although they changed their name to Joy Division before releasing this record, there are bootlegs of their early material released under the Warsaw name. Additionally, several tracks credited to Warsaw can be found on official Joy Division compilations.
During their time as Warsaw, the band showcased their raw talent and distinctive sound that would later define them as one of the most influential post-punk bands in history. Their music captured a sense of melancholy and introspection, combined with powerful instrumentation and haunting lyrics.
Despite being relatively short-lived under the name Warsaw, this period laid the foundation for Joy Division's remarkable career and lasting impact on alternative music. Explore these rare recordings from their formative years to gain insight into the evolution of a legendary band.

Doxy is a Russian bootleg label that specializes in vinyl reissues. They have also launched the Dig-A-Log Series, which focuses on album reissues on vinyl and includes a bonus CD of the album. In addition, they have introduced a new line called ACV, using clear-native co-polymer for their vinyl process to reduce electrical distortion on records. Doxy's catalog includes CDs and boxsets.

Joy Division, originally named Warsaw, consisted of singer Ian Curtis, guitarist and keyboardist Bernard Sumner, bass player Peter Hook, and drummer Stephen Morris. Warsaw was the planned debut album by the English post-punk band. Recorded in May 1978, it comprised eleven tracks now known collectively as the RCA Sessions. The band was disappointed with the label's post-production work and the deal fell through, the album being scrapped. This Warsaw release presents the RCA Sessions (some of which would be released on their debut EP, An Ideal For Living); As You Said from the 1980 Komakino single; and the band's first recorded music, five Warsaw Demo tracks from 1977. An interesting historical and musical testimony to Joy Divison's early artistic qualities.
