  • This 'best of' collection catalogues seminal Manchester post-punk band Joy Division's brief but influential career. Having only recorded two studio albums 'Unknown Pleasures' and 'Closer', the band have left a lasting legacy which continues to inspire musicians to this day. There is a brooding intensity and mesmerising beauty about the songs which makes them timeless. From 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' to 'She's Lost Control' all the well-known tracks are here which makes it perfect for newcomers. Also included are recordings from the band's famed Peel session and the iconic performance on Something Else which will please ardent fans.

 The best British band you've not yet appreciated........

So then, did you buy Unknown Pleasures at some point? No? Closer? No? Surely you bought one of the compilations - Substance or Permanent? No? Then buy this and see what you've been missing!! For fans there's nothing here that we don't already have. For others, it's a one-stop-shop for the best British band of the last 30 years [and that includes New Order, sorry Barney et al]. The inclusion of the BBC tracks makes this a "must have", and if you've not yet heard Ian Curtis' genuis lyrics and the rest of the band's excellent musicianship - then I can't recommend this highly enough.

 Why?

For the Peel Sessions tracks this is worth buying. The first discs tracks have been released numerous times afore in some variation or other. Why not just re-release the Peel Sessions CD? Five Stars for the Peel Sessions. No stars for the pointless re-re-re-releasing of such ubiquitous tracks on the 1st disc.

 only buy this if you don't already have the BBC sessions....

If i didn't already have the BBC sessions, which has now become something of a rarity, i would probably, being such a die hard, buy this just to have those tracks (hence the 2 stars rather than 1).

BUT, either way it seems like some sly, money grabbing trick to get people to buy this.

just when you thought the joy division compilations had stopped......

 legendary joy division!!

Absolutely love this album, to the point it tears me apart! I watched the film 'control' and discovered what the band was about and how it was for me, the birth of indie/punk rock and influenced many more recent bands. It really grows on you more and more every time you take a listen!!
