Description

DESCRIPTION:  I purchased this original 1977 Joy Division, An Ideal for Living EP from Wax Trax Records in Chicago for my personal collection in 1989 knowing it was a very rare.  

·         BAND: Joy Division

·         ALBUM: An Ideal For Living (PSS 139)

·         LP CONDITION:  Excellent

·         COVER CONDITION: Good  

·         RECORD LABEL: Enigma (Made in Great Britain)

·         YEAR: Recorded 1977

An Ideal for Living is the debut EP released by Joy Division in 1978, shortly after changing their name from Warsaw.

All tracks were recorded at the Pennine Sound Studios, Oldham, on 14 December 1977. A 7" version was released in June on the band's own Enigma Records label (not to be confused with the American record label of the same name), followed by a 12" version in October on the band's own Anonymous Records label. All tracks were re-released on the band's 1988 singles compilation Substance.

[edit]Track listing

All tracks written by Joy Division.

7" vinyl (Enigma PSS139) 
  1. "Warsaw" – 2:26
  2. "No Love Lost" – 3:42
  3. "Leaders of Men" – 2:34
  4. "Failures" – 3:44

[edit]Cover

The cover has a black-and-white picture of a blonde Hitler Youth member beating a drum, which was drawn by guitarist Bernard Sumner (called "Bernard Albrecht" on the poster sleeve), and the words "Joy! Division" printed in a blackletter font. The cover design fuelled controversy over whether the band had Nazi sympathies. As the cover hints, the release reflects the band's early punk influences, as opposed to the bleak post-punk the band would later develop.
