On offer here is the famous 'compilation LP from JOY DIVISION released after the untimely death of lead singer IAN CURTIS. .
There are many versions of this listed on discogs and I will do my best to explain the version I have here.
The vinyl is housed in an embossed carboard sleeve (it is not the hessian sleeve which was limited to around 5000 copies)
The inner sleeve open out to the centre and the cardboard inners are rounded on all four corners (see pictures)
The runouts on each disc are as follows.
SIDE 1: FACT40 A1 THE CHICKEN WON'T STOP SIDE 2: FACT40 B1 <<<<<< SIDE 3: FACT40 C1 <<<< SIDE 4: FACT40 D1 THE CHICKEN STOPS HERE
The inners labels are white with grey lettering.
From the information here I am pinpointing this issue as a UK version released after the initial run of hessian sleeved copies ran out which would have been around October 1981.
The vinyl has only been played a couple of times but some surface marks have been created from removing the vinyl from the cardboard sleeves. The sleeves are generally excellent but do have some wear along the spine of the gatefold sleeve (see photos)
I am starting this auction at a nice low starting price with no reserve.
Please ask me any questions with regard to this auction and I will do my very best to answer them.
Good luck with the bidding!
