"Warsaw" was the planned debut album by the English post-punk band Joy Division. Recorded in May 1978 it consisted of eleven tracks, however the band were disappointed by the post production done by RCA producers and the album was scrapped. The album circulated on bootlegs bearing the same title until it was commercially released in 1994 (along with a number of other tracks). The commercial release included the original Warsaw album plus "As You Said" which was recorded and released in 1980 on the Fac 28 single, as well as the band's first recorded music, The Warsaw Demo, songs from which were noted as 'bonus tracks'. Incidentally, Bernard Sumner sings the chorus in this album's version of "They Walked In Line".
