Joy Division profoundly affected the alternative music scene. Arriving as punk music was waning, UNKNOWN Joy Division's music inhabits an eerie, twilight world. Decay and alienation envelop singer Ian Curtis, whose cavernous, but dispassionate, voice belied the intensity he brought to bear. Rolling drum patterns, thudding bass lines and uncluttered synthesizer combine to create a dank, brooding atmosphere, chillingly supporting the songs' bleak lyrics. Yet listening to Unknown Pleasures is not a depressing experience. The group generate a terse excitement, emphasizing individual strengths and avoiding unnecessary embellishment. Their sense of commitment is utterly convincing and few debut albums can boast such unremitting power.
The record has extremely minimal light surface marks and extremely minimal light papare scuffs(of all the marks that can be seen are hairlinesuperficial marks). Both labels are very clean and have minimal spindle marks. It grades excellent condition.
The inner sleeve has some minimal yellowing. There is a 1.5 inch split in the middle of one side edge. It grades a strong very good to a near excellent condition.
The textured sleeve has extremely minimal edge wear. Minor corner wear. Minimal ring wear/rubbing marks(see pictures). No tears. No splits. It grades excellent condition.
Turns translucent red when held up to the light!!!!!!
