JOY DIVISION
STILL            JUST A QUICK INTRODUCTION, AS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE UNSURE WHAT THIS DOUBLE ALBUM IS ?? WELL I CAN TELL YOU IT IS A COMPILATION ALBUM, OF PREVIOUSLY RELEASED TRACKS AND ALSO PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED TRACKS, AND ALSO A LIVE RECORDING OF THEIR LAST CONCERT IN BIRMINGHAM IN 1981, SO A BRILLIANT DOUBLE ALBUM !!!! WELL HERE IS JOY DIVISION WHO WERE FORMED IN SALFORD, ENGLAND IN 1976, AND ONLY MADE TWO ALBUMS, PLUS THIS DOUBLE CLASSIC !!!! SUCH A SHORT LIVED BAND BUT HAD A HUGH INFLUENCE ON THE UP AND COMING BANDS OF THE 80's AND 90's. THIS COMES FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION AND WILL CERTAINLY BE A VERY SAD LOSS !!!!

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 !!!!


ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 1981, THE ONE LISTED BELOW IS A 1989 REISSUE (AS THE COVER IS NOT EMBOSSED, AND THE INNERS HAVE SQUARE CORNERS) ::  FACT 40 A1 'THE CHICKEN WONT STOP'  DW  ::  FACT 40  B1  EEEEEE  DW  ::  FACT 40  EEEE  DW  ::  FACT 40  D1  'THE CHICKEN STOPS HERE'  DW .

ON THE FACTORY RECORDS LABELS  ::  FACT 40 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL SMOOTH VERY LIGHTLY TEXTURED GATEFOLD, NOT EMBOSSED, WITH LOVELY SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH NO ISSUES, AND BOTH OPENING EDGES STILL SHARP. JUST A VERY TINY FAINT STICKER REMOVAL MARK TOP RIGHT CORNER ON THE FRONT, AND INSIDE THE GATEFOLD AGAIN NO ISSUES. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, AND I WOULD GRADE  :: EX/EX- .  BUT I WOULD SAY NEARER TO EX, RATHER THAN EX- !!!! 

VINYL   ::  YOU WILL BE PLEASED TO KNOW THAT THE VINYL PLAYS WITH NO SKIPS, STICKS, OR JUMPS, CRACKLE, OR STATIC, AND JUST A MINOR AUDIO ISSUE AT THE START OF TRACK 2 ON SIDE 2, WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW, THANK YOU !!!!

VISUALLY, AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE, AND ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT ARE THERE A FEW COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A COUPLE OF SMALL FAINT COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A VERY TINY COSMETIC SPOT MARK AT THE START OF TRACK 2 ON SIDE 2 !!!!

NOW THE AUDIO IS SUPERB, BUT THERE ARE EIGHT LIGHT TICKS AT THE START OF TRACK 2 ON SIDE 2, CAUSED BY THAT TINY SPOT MARK.

ON SIDE 3, THERE ARE FOUR FAINT TICKS AT THE START OF TRACK 2, AND ON SIDE 4, JUST ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK AT THE START OF TRACK 2, AND THAT'S ALL !!!!

SO ANOTHER HARD TO GRADE AUDIO, AND I THINK THE BEST WAY TO GRADE THE AUDIO IS...

THERE ARE EIGHT LIGHT TICKS AT THE START OF TRACK 2 ON SIDE 2, BUT THE REST OF THE TRACK 2, AND ALL THE OTHER TRACKS ON SIDE 2, AND ALL TRACKS ON SIDE 1, SIDE 3, AND SIDE 4, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  :: EX+ . 

LABELS ::  NO ISSUES LOVELY AND CLEAN, JUST A FEW FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX . 

ORIGINAL INNERS ::  WITH SQUARE CORNERS AND NO SPLITS OR WRITING, AND THE VINYLS WILL COME IN NEW POLYLINED INNERS ALONG WITH THE ORIGINALS  :: EX . 

WHAT A GREAT ALBUM, AND IT PLAYS BRILLIANT AND AS DESCRIBED, WITH ORIGINAL COVER AND INNERS !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE.
