Win 4 New Joy Division Vinyl Reissues

Win 4 New Joy Division Vinyl Reissues

Joy Division’s iconic single “Love Will Tear Us Apart” turned 35 last month and, to honor the special occasion, both of the band’s studio albums — 1979’s Unknown Pleasures and 1980’s Closer — and two compilation albums — 1981’s Still and 1988’s Substance — are getting re-released on vinyl. The latter two are being put out on heavyweight 180-gram vinyl and will both be 2xLPs in gatefold sleeves. The records will contain the most recent 2007 remasters, except for Substance, which features audio that was remastered in 2010. Substance also contains two songs not on the original release: the Pennine studio version of “Love Will Tear Us Apart” and “As You Said.”
