This legendary item has it's own place in the history of punk/new wave music. I have had this for over 30 years and have never seen one in this condition. I opened the outer bag once, in 1980, and checked that everything was correct and genuine and it has remained back in the bag, untouched since. The record has never been played. (see pictures to satisfy yourself on condition)
It has been stored in a smoke and pet free enviroment
Only 1578 copies were made, this is number 816
AUTHENTICITY: This copy has all the distinguishing characteristics of an original as described on the Joy Division Central website at http://www.joydiv.org/I3.htm.
Many Sordide Sentimental releases came in a clear plasic bag with the Sordide Sentimental logo. In 2009 Jean Pierre Turmel said "the first copies of the Joy Division single (maybe around the first 1000 were sold without a bag, and the last ones with a blank plastic bag (without any printing). We took this decision because we found this was a very fragile packaging. This is also true of the Throbbing Gristle "We Hate You" single. I dont remember exactly when the printed (with logo) appeared but it was post to the JD Single"
What is interesting is that as this is number 816 and comes with the clear bag so this would indicate that as many as half (as opposed to the last 500 or so) had the added plain bag. The plastic bag i would only grade as very good as the top has been opened and there is a small hole in it but it has preserved the record, foldout sleeve and contents beautifully.
You can bid with full confidence as i have been involved in the music business for many years and have worked closely with the record collecting bible 'Record Collector' as well as the auction houses
