"Transmission" is a song by post-punk band Joy Division, released on Factory Records in November 1979.
The single charted twice in New Zealand, debuting at number two in September 1981, and re-appearing again at number 24 in July 1984.
In May 2007, NME magazine placed "Transmission" at number 20 in its list of the 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever,[1] one place below "Love Will Tear Us Apart."
It was played on-stage in the film 24 Hour Party People, a scene in which Ian Curtis suffers an epileptic fit.
It has been covered by Low (on its EP Transmission) and Innerpartysystem. A version by Hot Chip is on the War Child charity album, Heroes, released in February 2009.[2]
It was also played by The Smashing Pumpkins on the Adore Tour in 1998, with performances of the song usually lasting around 25 minutes.[3]

all my records are condition graded visually in accordance with Record Collector's Grading System as follows:
MINT
The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT
The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD
The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR
The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR
The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
