Slide the needle on Unknown Pleasures and you’re plunged into Joy Division’s groundbreaking debut from 1979. Minimalist and intense, each song pulses with stark emotion and sonic space. Martin Hannett’s production techniques tape echo, digital delays, unusually crisp separation built a haunting atmosphere that still sounds untethered today

This 2015 reissue honours the original Factory Records aesthetic complete with textured sleeve and faithful inner art as well as the startling clarity of the 2007 remaster. Pressed on dense 180 g vinyl (American pressing by Rhino/Vinyl Collector), it delivers power in every drum hit and shimmering note, excellent for fans encountering it new or giving it a refreshed spin.

Charges like ‘Disorder’, ‘New Dawn Fades’ and ‘She’s Lost Control’ are still visceral, and this edition captures every nuance with depth and raw energy.
