Joy Division Box Set contains new analog versions of these three seminal studio albums. Issued in a Limited Edition of 3,000 copies worldwide, this four-record set is pressed on 180-Gram virgin vinyl, and the LPs are housed in an elegant cloth-covered box imported from the U.K. and designed by Peter Saville, who created the packaging for the original releases. THIS SET IS NOW COMPLETELY SOLD OUT.   Formed in Manchester, England in 1977, Joy Division were perhaps the ultimate postpunk band. The quartet defined goth music on a pair of classic studio albums, and helped put the seminal Factory Records label on the map. Almost as soon as it had begun, it was over -- lead singer Ian Curtis committed suicide in 1980, and the remaining members (guitarist Bernard Sumner, bassist Peter Hook and drummer Stephen Morris) re-formed as New Order. A new biopic of the group’s troubled frontman, Control, is about to hit movie theaters (go to www.control-movie.com for all the details), so it’s the ideal time to reexamine Joy Division’s work, and Rhino’s Limited Edition vinyl set is the ideal way to do it...   Produced by Martin Hannett, Joy Division’s 1979 debut Unknown Pleasures features ten moody masterpieces including “Insight,” “Disorder,” “New Dawn Fades” and “She’s Lost Control.” The band’s 1980 follow-up, Closer, peers even deeper into the abyss on such songs as “Heart And Soul,” “Isolation,” “Eternal,” “Decades” and the wrenching “Twenty Four Hours.” The posthumous double-album Still followed in 1981, collecting twenty studio outtakes, b-sides, live cuts, and other rarities -- including material from Joy Division’s last-ever concert.      JOY DIVISION: BOX SET allows you to experience these pioneering albums the way they were heard originally - on sonically rich vinyl LPs. The three titles - a total of four LPS - come housed in an elegant cloth-covered box designed by U.K. artist Peter Saville, who created the distinctive artwork and packaging on the original issues of these classic releases. Once the 3,000 copies sell out, the box will not be reproduced. THIS SET IS NOW COMPLETELY SOLD OUT!!!      Joy Division's 1979 debut UNKNOWN PLEASURES is a landmark album that established the band as principal architects and ultimate icons of the post-punk movement and the U.K. Manchester scene of the late '70s. UNKNOWN PLEASURES' ten classic songs resonate with the atmospheric textures and deep sonic spaces of Martin Hannett's production. Highlights include “Insight,” “Disorder,” “New Dawn Fades” and “She's Lost Control.” The latter song is the inspiration for the title of the 2007 film Control, the acclaimed Anton Corbijn-directed feature chronicling the life and times of Joy Division's lead singer and principal songwriter, the late Ian Curtis.      Joy Division's 1980 follow-up CLOSER, another seminal post-punk masterpiece, ranks #157 on Rolling Stone's “500 Greatest Albums Of All Time.” Musically and lyrically driven by the prevailing despair of Ian Curtis - who killed himself only months after the LP was released - CLOSER was also produced by Martin Hannett, who weaves sprawling emotional chaos and shifting atmospheres and textures together into an enormously powerful ten-song tour de force. Stand-outs include “Heart And Soul,” “Isolation,” “Eternal,” “Decades” and the wrenching “Twenty Four Hours.”      The compilation STILL came out in late 1981, over a year after Curtis' death. Comprised of twenty studio outtakes, b-sides, live cuts and other rarities, all the tracks were previously unissued at the time of STILL's original release except for “Glass” and “Dead Souls,” both compelling studio recordings from 1978 and 1979, respectively. STILL also presents material from Joy Division's last-ever concert, recorded at Birmingham University in May 1980 including the only time they performed “Ceremony” live (the song would later become a New Order single). Another track captured at Birmingham is “Shadowplay,” a selection covered in 2007 by The Killers for the soundtrack for the film Control. Other highlights include a live cover of The Velvet Underground's “Sister Ray” and a 1979 studio recording of “Something Must Break.”      Joy Division formed in Manchester, England in 1977, and had an immense and profound impact on contemporary music in a very brief time together. They recorded only two full-length studio albums, UNKNOWN PLEASURES and CLOSER, prior to lead singer Ian Curtis' 1980 suicide, just before the single “Love Will Tear Us Apart” became their breakthrough hit. The remaining members - guitarist Bernard Sumner, bassist Peter Hook and drummer Stephen Morris - disbanded Joy Division after Curtis' death, and re-formed as New Order.    If you're a fan of the JOY DIVISION...this extremely hard to find LIMITED EDITION collectable is a must have!
