Still,' first released on 8 October 1981, through record label Factory, consists of previously released and unreleased studio material and a live recording of Joy Division's last concert, performed at Birmingham University.

The album includes the only time the group ever performed the song "Ceremony" live, which later became a New Order single, as well as a cover of The Velvet Underground's "Sister Ray," recorded at The Moonlight Club in London on 2 April 1980.

The compilations 'Still' and 'Substance' fill in the missing pieces of Joy Division's history with non-album singles ("Transmission" and "Love Will Tear Us Apart"), unreleased studio tracks ("Something Must Break" and "Ice Age"), and choice live recordings ("Disorder" and the only performance of "Ceremony").
