Description
I have for sale the Original Pressing of the Debut Album, Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division from 1979 on Factory Records.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unknown_Pleasures
The front cover image comes from an edition of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Astronomy, and was originally drawn with black lines on a white background.[15] It presents successive pulses from the first pulsar discovered, PSR B1919+21—often referred to in the context of this album by its older name, CP 1919.[15] The image was suggested by Bernard Sumner and the cover design is credited to Joy Division, Peter Saville and Chris Mathan. The back cover of the album contains no track listings, leaving a blank table where one would expect the listings to be. The original release came in a textured sleeve.[1]
The original LP release contained no track information on the labels, nor the traditional "side one" and "side two" designations. The ostensible "side one" was labeled Outside and displayed a reproduction of the image on the album cover, while the other side was labeled Inside and displayed the same image with the colours reversed (black-on-white).[1] Track information and album credits appeared on the inner sleeve only.
[edit]Groove notations
European pressing: near the inner groove of the Outside is etched in script: "This is the way" and the Inside has "Step". Both lines are taken from the song "Atrocity Exhibition", which was released on the follow-up album Closer, a year later. Additionally, "A Porky Prime Cut" can be found on first UK pressings, indicating that they were mastered by George "Porky" Peckham, who often etches that phrase into the deadwax of vinyl records he has cut.
The album is the one described above, the photo's show the cover, album and disc with A Porky Prime Cut.
Undoubtedly one the the most inspiration bands of all time, I had the pleasure of seeing them support the Buzzcocks and at their 2nd to last gig in Derby.
I have lots of singles, albums and music papers to sell, keep checking back for your favourite bands of the Punk / New Wave era.
