FACT 25 - Joy Division 'Closer'

Recorded at Pink Floyd’s studio - Britannia Row, the album has a more mature sound than Unknown Pleasures and a lyrical, emotional depth, that is easy to acknowledge now with hindsight of what would unfold following the completion of the album.

@O2academybrix @officialcharts @Bestival @SebBohmMusic @WonderWomanFilm @Telegraph The single's original sleeve, created by Factory designer
@P_Saville_Assoc and Brett Wickens, was die-cut with a silver inner sleeve.
