2007 "unofficial" re-issue of the classic Licht und Blindheit on Sordide Sentimental from the immortal Joy Division. Released to coincide with the Ian Curtis biopic, Closer, this was limited to a mere 1578 units and this is number 645. These were pressed in pink, red, green, and yellow and yellow certainly seems to be the rarest having no current listing on ebay or sites like Discogs. Yellow doesn't even have a sales history there as opposed to all the other colors so that leads me to believe this could be the rarest of them all.
Both inserts are present and the original folder and bag are pristine. The vinyl has been played once or twice (it sounds great, and it is said to be better than the original pressing) but is still solidly NM. All of the pieces have been handled rarely and look wonderful. However, the glue on the pouch to keep the vinyl in on these was pretty bad to begin with and the 6+ years since it was released hasn't made it any better so I would strongly advise you not keep it in there as I imagine the weight of the vinyl would dislodge the pouch in the folder completely.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
I would prefer to ship this within the USA, but will ship to Canada, Australia, France, the UK, and Germany as well. I would consider other foreign buyers if they are willing to pay for a secure shipping service. Those located in a country not specifically listed please contact me before bidding.
