hainspoint Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) ps. looks like you don't need to spend extra money like i did when i just clicked on the link from a New Order email, you can save money and buy it domestically. oops. https://www.turntablelab.com/products/joy-division-unknown-pleasures-180g-colored-vinyl-vinyl-lp Edited May 31, 2019 by hainspoint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this “Joy Division” band makes good on their name with an album full of upbeat, cheery, feel-good tunes then I’m sure I’ll love it... rooks and jonnywreck 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it's a reference to the name of the gaggles of prostitutes that Nazis used to keep around. Sounds like a tough place to be.

unknown pleasures Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Could it be anymore obvious they listened to a lot of Interpol? May as well be their tribute band... EDIT: I have no idea when Interpol started. Edited June 4, 2019 by unknown pleasures jonnywreck and pizza face 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their first releases must have been on mp3 or maybe even the timeless compact disc format. Way before vinyl was invented by a team of scientists at Urban Outfitters in late 2006.

Very impressive indeed. But the Strokes beat them to the punch for edgy punk/indie sounds. jonnywreck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, of course I’m going to throw my money at it because Joy Division! but it’s pretty underwhelming for a special anniversary release.

floyd_z Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Yeah it is interesting. i do love Joy Division, but don't really see the point in having this. Why not repress 'An Ideal for Living' or something. I guess I'm kind of getting annoyed with all these 'Anniversary Editions' (from everyone, not Joy Division) 5 year, 10 year, 15 year anniversary. Seems like a cash grab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a cash grab. Totally agree, but I'm grabbing this one anyways as my only other copy is a uk first press which i don't play much. They did An Ideal for Living for rsd 4 or 5 years ago.

Amazon is showing it backordered for now but this seems readily available at a lot of other places so in guessing it is a pretty large pressing. I've never heard the 07 remaster that this is sourced from to know how good that sounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellnow Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I remember reading somewhere, Reddit I think, that this is a rather large pressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work at a record shop and it’s still readily available from our distributor. Listened to it the other day, though, and it sounds great! Definitely worth grabbing. wellnow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
