Unknown Pleasures 4.5% (45SPEC010)

This really is going to make a lot of you feel very old.  33 years ago saw the release of Joy Division's seminal debut album Unknown Pleasures.  Great sleeve, fantastic songs and amazing production by legendary studio wizard Martin Hannett.

We had a bit of fun with the pump clip to take the homage just that little bit further.



There's a possibility we might do some t-shirts of this one - kind of lends itself to it we think.  Watch this space.

Andrew's memories of the album: "Well actually Joy Division passed me by back in 1979 - I hadn't started buying records regularly at this time.  Actually I still don't own Unknown Pleasures in any sort of physical form - only an MP3 version!  I do intend to purchase every special we do if I don't already have it so off to my local record emporium I go.  I do own a copy of Substance however and if I have a favourite Joy Division track it is probably Dead Souls which I think is taken from the album Still."
