The Beautiful Peter Saville Designed LP Sleeve , As Is The Inner Sleeve . This the rare Inner Sleeve With Round corners. Printed By Garrod And Lofthouse Limited Whose Credits Are Listed On The Inner Sleeve . Most Copies Of This LP You See Tend To Have Worn Covers , Due To The Fragile Nature Of The White Sleeve Design .
The strange thing with the first copies of "Closer" issue is that the vinyl turn PURPLE TRANSPARRENT against light. Even if you keep the record at hand gives you the impression that rthe vinyl is dark purple(ruby red). I dont know where the vinyl of these first copies cutted but I have seen the same effect on other MANCHESTER record of the period (STEVE MIRO 1st Lp and SPHERICAL objects too).
The second and final album by Joy Division, released July 18, 1980 on Factory, two months following the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis.The album was recorded from 18 to 30 March 1980 at Britannia Row Studios, Islington, London.
The cover photo is a detail of the Appiani family tomb in the Staglieno Cemetery in Genova, Italy.
The sculpture was made by Demetrio Paernio.

Notes
FACT 25 comes in two vinyl editions: Black and dark translucent red. It can only be differentiated when holding against a strong light source.Apparantly, this is due to Martin Hannett, who ordered a second master cut after he found out that 5000 records were pressed without the initial master having been approved.
There also are two sleeve variations:
A plain carton cover with glossy inner sleeve and having straight corners. Or a thick rough cardboard cover with rough inner sleeve and having rounded corners.
However, the two vinyl editions can come in either cover
