Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures (180g) Vinyl LP

This is the first pressing of this classic in 10 years, and it gets proper dues with 180g vinyl, deluxe packaging complete with original printed inner sleeve, and a remastering job from the original tapes. If you are going to own one Joy Division record, this is probably it (but damn, I bet more people have the shirt than the actual recording). Check: “She’s Lost Control,” “Disorder,” and “New Dawn Fades.” If you don’t like the music, buy it for the timeless cover.

• 180g black vinyl pressing
• housed in original Peter Saville-designed packaging
• cut from 2007 remaster of the album’s original 10 tracks
• music label: Factory 2015
