Joy Division – Closer

40th Anniversary Edition 180gm Crystal Clear Vinyl LP, Deluxe 12″ Singles

Joy Division recorded only two albums before singer Ian Curtis tragically took his own life in 1980, 40 years ago next week. But what the Manchester quartet lacked in longevity, they more than made up for in quality. The two albums were pioneering and helped shape the sound and mood of the alternative music that followed in the band’s wake.

Joy Division will be reissuing a 40th Anniversary Edition of their sophomore album “Closer”, pressed on 180gm Crystal Clear Vinyl LP, alongside Deluxe 12″ Singles of Atmosphere, Transmission and Love Will Tear Us Apart. Joy Division are reissuing their sophomore alongside some essential 12″ singles. thought you ought to know.

There were no singles from Closer The same day will also see the reissue of three non-album singles, “Transmission”, “Atmosphere” and “Love Will Tear Us Apart” on 180g 12-inch vinyl with remastered audio. These singles have never been repressed or reissued since Factory Records closed. Closer was of course the band’s last album. It was issued two months after Ian Curtis’ suicide (he died on 18th May 1980).  The Closer album isn’t remastered and uses the same mastering as on the 2015 vinyl reissues (which is from 2007).

Check out the new Closer packaging and watch a teaser video – and be sure to pick up the next issue of Uncut Magazine, out next week, which features the surviving members of Joy Division looking back at the making of “Love Will Tear Us Apart”.

To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the release of “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” Rhino has re-issued four iconic Joy Division albums on heavyweight 180-gram vinyl. Each design replicates the original in painstaking detail, including the gatefold covers used for Still and Substance. The music heard on the albums was remastered in 2007 when Rhino introduced expanded versions of the albums.

Joy Division recorded two albums, Unknown Pleasures and Closer, before singer Ian Curtis tragically took his own life in 1980. But what the Manchester quartet lacked in longevity, it more than made up for in quality. The band’s only two studio albums were groundbreaking and helped shape the sound and mood of the alternative music that followed in the band’s wake.

The compilations Still and Substance fill in the missing pieces of the band’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.”)

IAN CURTIS and JOY DIVISION 34 years ago 18th May 1980

34 years ago this weekend the Joy Division vocalist and lyricist Ian Curtis, tragically took his own life but the legacy that the post punk pioneer and his songs, have left behind is unmistakable, despite only releasing two full length albums “Unknown Pleasures” and “Closer” his influence is evident in their sound produced by countless bands who continue to be inspired, his baritone vocal, dance style amd minimilistic sound, the tone of Curtis’s voice and the lyrics were huge,

here is a cover of the song “Transmission” slowed down and recorded around the time of LOW’s second album,
next up is the Band PINK MOUNTAINTOPS and their version of “Atomosphere” sounding very much like the Velvet Underground would if they had covered this song

and a version from the seminal goth,punk band THE CURE with “Love Will Tear Us Apart”
