JOY DIVISION
'CLOSER'
WITH POST CARD !!!!
SUPERB NEAR MINT AUDIO FOR THIS BLACK JOY DIVISION CLASSIC !!!!
THE ORIGINAL 1980 AND 1981 UK RELEASES HAVE, 'A1 OLD BLUE?', AND 'B-2' IN THE RUN OFFS. THE COVER AND INNER COULD EITHER BE TEXTURED OR PLAIN, AND THE INNER ALSO TEXTURED OR PLAIN, HAVING SQUARE OR ROUNDED CORNERS !!!! TO MAKE THINGS EVEN MORE COMPLICATED THERE WERE VINYLS, BLACK, AND ALSO TRASLUCENT DARK RED, AND DARK GREEN. THE ONE LISTED BELOW, IS ON BLACK VINYL, HAS, 'AI OLD BLUE?' AND 'B-2', IN THE RUN OFFS, HAS A TEXTURED COVER, AND PLAIN INNER WITH SQUARE CORNERS !!!!
WHEN I BOUGHT THIS MANY YEARS AGO THERE WAS A 'JOY DIVISION, CLOSER' POST CARD WITH THE ALBUM. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS POST CARD WITH ANY OTHER, 'CLOSER' ALBUMS, SO NOT SURE IF IT IS VERY RARE TO COME WITH THE ALBUM, OR IT CAME FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE ????
ABOUT TIME WE HAD SOME MORE JOY DIVISION, WHO ONLY MADE TWO ALBUMS. FORMED IN SALFORD IN ENGLAND IN 1976, THIS IS THEIR 2nd AND FINAL ALBUM, RELEASED ON 18th JULY 1980. SHAME THEY ONLY MADE TWO ALBUMS, AS THEY COULD HAVE BEEN EVEN MORE A CULT BAND THAN THEY ALREASDY ARE !!!! THIS COMES FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION AND PLAYS NEAR FAULTLESS, AND CERTAINLY WILL NOT DISAPPOINT !!!!
BEFORE YOU READ ON, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MENTION ABOUT SHIPPING. DUE TO THE TERRIBLE VIRUS, THERE IS UNCERTAINTY IN WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, AND SHIPPING COULD BE AFFECTED. I AM CONTINUING TO LIST, AND SHUIP AS USUAL . IF YOU HAVE WON ANY LP'S, AND I AM UNABLE TO SHIP I WILL KEEP THEM VERY SAFE, AND SHIP WHEN THINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL. TAKE CARE AND BE EXTRA SAFE, AND IF YOU HAVE AN QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK ME, THANK YOU, ROSE .
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1981 UK PRESS :: FACT 25 A1 'OLD BLUE ?' :: FACT 25 B-1 .
ON THE FACTORY LABEL :: FACT 25 .
COVER :: ORIGINAL, TEXTURED, WITH LOVELY SOLID SPINE AND EDGES WITH NO RUB, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. JUST A SMALL BIT OF LIGHT RING WEAR ALONG THE TOP, AND SOME LIGHT AGE RELATED MARKS, AND AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PHOTOS, NOTHING SERIOUS. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, AND I WOULD GRADE :: EX- .
VINYL :: PLAYS SUPERB, AS THERE ARE NO SKIPS, JUMPS OR STICKS, AND NO POPS, CLICKS, TICKS, STATIC OR CRACKLE, JUST CRYSTAL CLEAR JOY DIVISION AUDIO !!!!
VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOK VERY NICE, AND ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE A FEW COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A COUPLE OF LONGER TOTALLY COSMETIC SCUFF LINES, WHICH I CAN ASSURE YOU ARE HARMLESS AND ONLY SEEN WHEN THE VINYL IS ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. SO FOR THAT AUDIO GRADE, AND THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE, AND THAT IS A WONDERFUL :: NEAR MINT . AND IN NO WAY OVERGRADED !!!!
LABELS :: AGAIN NO ISSUES, JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX/EX+ .
ORIGINAL INNER :: NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, VERY NICE CONDITION, PLAIN WITH SQUARE CORNERS, WITH SOME LIGHT AGE RELATED FAINT SPOT STAINS, AND AGAIN NOTHING SERIOUS :: VG+ .
GREAT ALBUM, AND IT IS A WORK OF ART. EVERY TRACK IS A MASTERPIECE, AND THIS ALBUM WILL ONLY BECOME MORE COLLECTABLE, THAN IT ALREADY IS !!!! AUDIO THAT WILL BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO BETTER, UNLESS YOU HAVE A MINT SEALED ONE HIDDEN AWAY, AND THAT MYSTERY POST CARD. SHAME ONLY TWO ALBUMS, THEY COULD HAVE GONE SO MUCH FURTHER !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!! ROSE.
BE SAFE AND TAKE CARE !!!!

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU
