It was on their second Peel session. Apparently a big fave of Ian Curtis hence it's inclusion.

Sounds about right. I was thinking '50s - I have it on CD which would give me the date but my CDs live in the loft. After being the windiest place in the UK last night I'd rather not look in the loft in case it's no longer there...

Also there's more than one Staples Singers recording of this song, and without checking my CD I can't verify which one this is...
