Editorial Reviews

The first studio album of Joy Division. Recorded in April 1979 at Strawberry Studios, Stockport. Also recorded in these sessions were Auto-Suggestion and From Safety To Where...? (both released on Earcom 2) as well as Exercise One, The Only Mistake, Walked In Line and The Kill (all released on Still). The centre sleeve depicts ''100 consecutive pulses from the pulsar CP 1919'', taken from an image that Bernard Sumner found.TracklistA1 Disorder 3:36 A2 Day Of The Lords 4:43 A3 Candidate 3:00 A4 Insight 4:00 A5 New Dawn Fades 4:47 B1 She's Lost Control 3:40 B2 Shadowplay 3:50 B3 Wilderness 2:35 B4 Interzone 2:10 B5 I Remember Nothing 6:00

1.0 out of 5 stars Defective, January 4, 2009

So I read online complaints about this Rhino 180 gram vinyl record being defective. I thought it was just some unlucky buyer until I bought two brand new copies of this LP (from two different sellers) and they were BOTH DEFECTIVE and in the same way: there was a dent across the vinyl from the record press. When you play the record, you hear a tearing noise every 4 seconds or so. I tried to contact Rhino about it but they never replied to my e-mail or my phone calls. I've heard that not all copies are damaged; maybe you'll get lucky.

I got the Rhino remastered LP as well. Mine was in perfect condition without all the anomalies mentioned here. I had a 1980 French copy of the cd as well. Compared to the cd, the LP sounded livelier and airier. The soundstage seems to open up and the music just filled the entire room. On a score of 1 to 10, I'll rate the cd 7 and the LP 9. Sound-wise that is. The music of course, is heaven.

Just want to chime in and say my copy of this album is perfect. Absolutely no issues with the quality of the pressing. It's 180 gram and sounds wonderful, jaw dropping in fact. Also I should mention that the cover is textured as a homage to the original first pressing. I'm not going to write about the quality of the music as it is a classic and it's been beat to death. All I can say is if you have not heard it, buy it, and buy it on vinyl.
