HERE'S THE FIRST JOY DIVISION LP FROM 1979: "UNKNOWN PLEASURES"ON AN ORIGINAL UK PRESSED FACTORY LABELS ISSUE.IT HAS THE TRANSLUCENT RED VINYL(OBSERVED WHEN HELD UP TO STRONG LIGHT)AND THE USUALLY MISSING SHAPED CORNERS INNER SLEEVE AND A CLEAN OUTER COVER WITH THE TEXTURED EFFECT UNLIKE LATER ONES THAT WERE MATT STYLE. AMAZINGLY THIS ALBUM FAILED TO CHART WITH MINIMAL EXPOSURE AND SALES-IT BECAME A STEADY SELLER BY THE TIME THAT THE TEXTURED EFFECT COVERS WERE NO LONGER PRODUCED AND THE VINYL BECAME THINNER.  THERE IS THE "PORKY PRIME CUT"DEAD WAX CREDITS ON EACH DISC.ON THE "A"SIDE DEAD WAX THERE IS THE WORDING"STEP"and"INSIDE". ON THE"B" SIDE DEAD WAX THERE IS THE WORDING"THIS IS THE WAY"and"OUTSIDE".   LATER REPRESSES DID NOT ALWAYS HAVE THIS!. THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,JUST A FEW ULTRA FAINT SURFACE MARKS ONLY VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LATE WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE.   NO CLICKS,JUMPS,STICKS OR SURFACE SWISHES!NICE CLEAR SOUND AND STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT-BID WITH CONFIDENCE!THE COVER HAS  A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS,STAINS OR REPAIRS THE INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SPLITS-MOST DO!A FEW MINOR CREASES BUT OTHERWISE VERY CLEAN-NO STAINING,WRITING,REPAIRS,STAINS ETC MY REALISTIC STARTING PRICE OF £12 WOULD BE SNAPPED UP AT MOST RECORD COLLECTORS SHOPS OR AT RECORD FAIRS!

ONE OF THE BAND'S FINEST THAT WOULD INFLUENCE SO MANY BANDS THAT FOLLOWED!NEAR MINT COPIES CAN FETCH HIGH PRICES AND SO THIS COULD BE AN IDEAL OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A DESIRABLE FIRST PRESSING AT A BARGAIN PRICE!

POSTAGE COSTS AS FOLLOWS:

UK £4 INCLUDING RECORDED DELIVERY.

EUROPE £6 REST OF THE WORLD £9. 

The vast majority of copies sold of this album were often played on poor equipment,in many cases taken to parties,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!

Most that were buying albums in 1979 were usually using dreadful equipment!  

An ideal opportunity to add an essential indie album to your collection that is bound to rise in value!
