Joy Division's albums aren't too hard to find on vinyl, since they've been reissued numerous times over the years. But with the classic 1980 single "Love Will Tear Us Apart" celebrating its 35th anniversary next month, Rhino Records is now preparing to once again reissue Joy Division's catalogue.
This campaign consists of four records: both of Joy Division's official studio albums, 1979's Unknown Pleasures and 1980's Closer, plus the compilations Still (1981) and Substance (1988). The two albums will come out on June 29 as single LPs, while the two comps will follow on July 24 as double-LP sets.
The reissues are all coming out on heavyweight 180-gram vinyl. They've been remastered, although these same remasters have been used on previous reissues. The packaging of the original versions has also been recreated.
For the most part, the original tracklists have been preserved, although Substance is arriving in an expanded edition containing the bonus tracks from the CD version, plus two extra tracks: "As You Said" and an alternate version of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" recorded at Pennine studios. The 19-song expanded version of Substance will also come out on CD.
See the tracklists below.
Meanwhile, bassist Peter Hook and his current band the Light will be releasing a live album featuring a performance of Joy Division's entire discography. The concert will be happening in the group's hometown of Macclesfield on May 18, and the album can be pre-ordered here.
