Description

JOY DIVISION: Closer FACT: XXV 1st UK Pressing Vinyl LP Earliest known pressing Translucent when held to light Rudy Red
SIDE ONE MATRIX: OLD BLUE? FACT 25 A1 (at)  SIDE TWO MATRIX: FACT 25 B1 (BG)
NEAR MINT CONDITION
Record cleaned ultrasonically by the Degritter 2. Record in MOFI sleeve.


This is the 1980 first UK pressing with the A1/B1 stamp.  Lots of bad info and people who lie about what they are selling, rest assured this is the real McCoy, the true 1st UK press.  Textured cover and the rounded inner sleeves.  The record has the classic paper sleeve scuffs which are minor and has not bearing on play.  I play test everything and this copy is ELITE.


I would rate the record a 8.5 out of 10. Listening quality 9.5 out of 10 Cover 8 out of 10 Inner sleeve 9.5 out of 10
