Description
Welcome,
You are viewing part of an extensive record collection that has been passed down to me.
The records listed are in excellent condition and kept well in record cases.
A truly loved collection but no longer needed as I have nowhere to store them, born in the wrong era and genre of music to be music to my ears.
The records deserve to have an owner who will truly appreciate them and loved as they once were
Thanks
Sarah

The red-tinted version was apparantly more widely distributed. The colors are the result of formulations used for the original pressings, with the purple being the very first pressing. Textured cover. Comes with a printed, textured inner sleeve.
USA TRANSLUCENT PURPLE FIRST PRESSING VINYL LP IN TEXTURED SLEEVE WITH TEXTURED INNER SLEEVE AND ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP WITH ORIGINAL GREY FACTORY DISTRIBUTION STICKER.
This is the absolute first USA pressing of this Joy Division classic. Of all the different vinyl colorings, the translucent purple was the very first issue. This can only be viewed by holding to a bright light source, but do not go too close to the heat/bulb as this will melt your album! This particular copy has the best condition artwork we have seen for this album since it was released, a magnificent example for once. The US release has completely different card to the UK one and looks magnificent. Seldom will you find a copy with the original outer poly-seal and sticker these days. We have play-tested the US first against the UK first pressing and aurally we really could not tell the difference, the mastering seems to be the same.
