UK FIRST PRESSING DOUBLE VINYL LP SET COMPLETE IN LIMITED EDITION CLOTH SLEEVE WITH WHITE SIDE RIBBON AND WITH DIE-CARD CARD INNERS.

Buyer Please Note: The discs have grey on white text and bear first pressing A1 matrix numbers, usually this set has discs with blue on white text that have A2 matrix numbers - this set was puchased new by the original owner, at the time of release, along with the other Joy Division titles we have listed on eBay at the same time (which is why he had first pressing translucent red copies). We can only conclude that this is how this particular set left the pressing plant in 1981, or, judging by the matrix numbers which differ slightly from the regular release not in a cloth sleeve, that they are oddly unique to this set - Ah, record collecting, will we ever get to the bottom of it!

Your shipping and handling pays for the following standard of service:
We ship the next working day after your payment is received. International Air Mail Small Packets take an average of 10-14 days to arrive, but please allow at least 21-28 days for your package to clear customs (South America, Canada and some other countries have notably slower customs clearance than others). Sadly, our experience shows that it can now take 7-14 days for tracked packages to be delivered in the UK, although 3-5 days is average. LPs are shipped in professional, fluted card mailers with printed address labels and all relevant customs and tracking information attached. We appreciate payment within 5 days of the auction closing. Payal requires sellers to prove delivery in the event of non-receipt claims and to have uploaded tracking information onto eBay, so regrettably we now only ship by Signed For/Tracked delivery if you choose to pay by Paypal (except the USA subsidized shipping rate). We do accept alternative payment methods if a cheaper shipping rate is important to you, as listed below:
