Joy Division profoundly affected the alternative music scene. Arriving as punk music was waning, UNKNOWN Joy Division's music inhabits an eerie, twilight world. Decay and alienation envelop singer Ian Curtis, whose cavernous, but dispassionate, voice belied the intensity he brought to bear. Rolling drum patterns, thudding bass lines and uncluttered synthesizer combine to create a dank, brooding atmosphere, chillingly supporting the songs' bleak lyrics. Yet listening to Unknown Pleasures is not a depressing experience. The group generate a terse excitement, emphasizing individual strengths and avoiding unnecessary embellishment. Their sense of commitment is utterly convincing and few debut albums can boast such unremitting power.

The record has extremely minimal light surface marks and extremely minimal light papare scuffs(of all the marks that can be seen are superficial and hairline marks). Both labels have minimal spindle marks(not the usually over-played Joy Division record). Will grade excellent condition.

I've taken a close-up of the vinyl to show you how good it looks.

The inner sleeve has some yellowing and age stains on both sides(see pictures). No rips or tears. No splits. Will grade a strong very good condition.

The textured sleeve has minor edge wear(slightly more on the spine). Minor corner wear(slightly more on the bottom two corners). Some minor ring wear and light wear(see pictures). No tears. No splits. Will grade a strong very good condition.

If this auction goes over £40.00, then i will add more to the p+p cost to cover signed for(with insurance). So please don't pay until i send the invoice. Thanks!

If you don't want to pay the p+p, you can collect the LP from me in person at one of the many record fairs i attend. Take a look at "Record Fairs worth visiting in Leeds" on FACEBOOK.

Also take a look at "Tapestry Of Delights vinyl records" on FACEBOOK to keep updated with new titles that are being added in my Ebay shop on a daily basis.
