Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures version on vinyl LP in Remastered edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company Factory on 6. December 2019.

They were the dark angels of post-punk and deeply captivated a generation: the Manchester band Joy Division, whose singer Ian Curtis became an icon of the dark side of pop!

Joy Division recorded two albums before lead singer Ian Curtis, plagued by epilepsy and personal problems, tragically took his own life in 1980. However, even during their short creative period, they left an unmistakable imprint on the music scene. Both studio albums were groundbreaking and shaped the sound and feel of alternative music and countless followers.

Ian Curtis (guitar/vocals), Bernard Sumner (keyboards), Peter Hook (bass) and Stephen Morris (drums) released their debut album "Unknown Pleasures" in 1979. By the end of that year, they had completely won over critics and fans alike with their exceptionally atmospheric sound and songs like "She's Lost Control" and "Day Of The Lords". Their second album "Closer" followed the following year and was met with further praise thanks to its dark sound and deep melancholy in songs like "Isolation" and "Heart And Soul".
