I came across a song recently called “Radio City of Love” by Japanese singer, Morio Agata. It’s on a hard to find reissue compilation called “Vanity – Finest Selection, 1978-81.” As a life-long Joy Division fan, I find it fascinating that I wouldn’t have heard this song before this week.
It’s ridiculously close to “She’s Lost Control” – or “She’s Lost Control” is ridiculously close to it. I’m not sure which came first. It seems like they both came out in 1979, so it’s anybody’s guess, but the information I can find is very minimal.
Regardless, it’s shocking to not have heard this, or have ever even heard a discussion about the similarity of the two tracks. Listen for yourself here and here.
Weird! Does anyone have any info?
