LOVELY original pressing of second Joy Division album with textured outer and inner sleeves designed by the legendary Pete Saville (and Martin Atkins).
Textured white card outer cover, textured inner sleeve and both sides of vinyl are all rated as very good+ condition or better.
Just a little light shelf wear/creasing around outside edges of cover - consistent with age and regular playing when released in 1980 - corners are still good and artist/album name clearly visible along the spine. Both faces are free of significant dings/dents and absolutely no writing etc - just a small split at bottom leading edge where record has been slipped in and out.
Lightly textured inner sleeve - with die-cut rounded corners - also in very good+ condition.
Stylish black and silver Factory Records labels are near-perfect apart from some light spindle marks around the centre (see photos).
Vinyl has some surface marks consistent with being played on good-quality hi-fi separates system and retains most of its original gloss. "OLD BLUE?" and "FACT 25 1" etched into A side runout and "FACT 25 B-1" etched into B side runout. 
Side one tracks: Atrocity Exhibition, Isolation, Passover, Colony, A Means To An End. Side two: Heart And Soul, Twenty Four Hours, The Eternal, Decades.
