Description

This is an auction for a near mint copy of 'Closer' by Joy Division. This is the first pressing in the matt cardboard sleeve.


This is a truly excellent piece of exceptionally rare and hard to find vinyl. It is the black vinyl version with the original plastic sleeve. The vinyl is excellent and the sleeve is near mint. 


Produced at Brittania Row. A Fractured Music. A Factory Record. Labels: 9/5/80 

A Factory Records Product. Published by Fractured Music. Printed by Garrod And Lofthouse Limited.


Apparently, 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. This is one of those super rare versions. 

There is thick rough cardboard cover with rough inner sleeve. 

Barcode and Other Identifiers

Matrix / Runout (Side A runout, etched - Variation 1): FACT 25 A1 OLD BLUE?

Matrix / Runout (Side B runout, etched - Variation 1): FACT 25 B-1


I am super sad to let go of this vinyl. It is a super rare and true collectors piece.
