I'm once again going to mention here that my dad, Colin Sharp, was the first person to listen to Unknown Pleasures...

That’s very cool. Did your dad come to meet the band via his acting stuff? Alan Erasmus would have been acting around the same time.

Loved your dad’s music! It was a constant in the background of me growing up

Fun parallels--my dad was one of the first two people to "listen" for radio signals from extraterrestrial intelligence; he was Frank Drake's telescope operator for SETI's first Project Ozma scan. He also did design work on Arecibo, the telescope that produced Unknown Pleasure's iconic pulsar cover.

Those Durruti Column songs were pretty awesome as well.
