Description

Rare chance to own an original UK copy of a fantastic compilation from Joy Division on Factory Records, catalogue no. FAC250. Still sounds amazing, especially on vinyl! The matrix numbers are A2 B4

 The vinyl is still in very good condition, the outer sleeve shows some signs of ageing and wear at the edges. The inner sleeve has some discolouration too but nor rips or tears.


 [Wikipedia] 
Substance 1977-1980 is a singles compilation album by the post-punk band Joy Division, released on Factory Records in 1988. It is companion to a similar singles compilation by their subsequent band New Order, also entitled Substance. It peaked at #7 in the UK album chart and #146 on the Billboard 200, the band's only chart appearance in the United States. It also reached #15 in New Zealand and #53 in Australia in August 1988.
Content
Substance compiles the four singles released by the band that did not appear on album, "Transmission", "Komakino", "Love Will Tear Us Apart", and "Atmosphere", as well as their B-sides. It also collects tracks released on extended play singles, the band's first release An Ideal for Living and two samplers issued by Factory Records, A Factory Sample and Earcom 2: Contradiction. The single "Atmosphere" had been originally issued in France as "Licht und Blindheit" with "Dead Souls" on the B-side. Following the death of Ian Curtis, it was reissued as a posthumous B-side of the "She's Lost Control" single in an alternate version from the track that had previously appeared on Unknown Pleasures. The vinyl version omits the single "Komakino," and does not include the complete titles from the extended plays.
Cover
The cover features Wim Crouwel's New Alphabet typeface. An error appears to occur in the characters utilised; the letters used actually spell "Subst1mce", rather than "Substance", although Brett Wickens who worked on this cover whilst a partner at Saville Associates, claims this was for aesthetic reasons. The 1991 cover was different, featuring new art.
