She's Lost Control / Atmosphere - LP

Joy Division: Atmosphere Die Version auf Vinyl LP in 45 RPM remastered Auflage. Diese besondere Auflage wurde veröffentlicht in Europa im Verlag Factory am 17. Juli 2020.

In addition to the release of the "Closer" LP, the non-album singles Transmission, Atmosphere and Love Will Tear Us Apart will be released on the same day with remastered audio from 2020. Since the closure of Factory Records, these singles have not been re-pressed or re-released and are now being released on 180gram vinyl with original artwork on heavyweight cardboard. The transfer comes in a sleeve with embossing. Formed in Manchester by Ian Curtis (git, voc), Bernard Sumner (kb), Peter Hook (b) and Stephen Moris (dr), Joy Division were called Stiff Kittens and Warsaw from 1976, only to find their final name in 1978. In the short time leading up to the tragic suicide of singer Ian Curtis on 18 May 1980, they changed the musical landscape more than almost any other group. Their influence persists to this day: bands from The Cure to Nirvana to Interpol to The National have drawn on Joy Division's unique sound. Still, it was only two studio albums and a few eccentric performances that earned them a reputation: 1979 saw the release of their debut Unknown Pleasures, with tracks like "She's Lost Control" and "Day Of The Lords", which won a loyal fanbase in the band's early days with its fragile and intense sound. In 1980, they released their second album Closer, whose dark and melancholic atmosphere was met with rave reviews, especially for songs like "Isolation" and "Heart And Soul". The posthumously released compilations "Still" and "Substance" finally provided the missing pieces of the story and featured the non-album singles "Transmission" and "Love Will Tear Us Apart", as well as previously unreleased studio tracks like "Something Must Break" and "Ice Age" and select live recordings like "Disorder" and the single "Ceremony". The band's history is still one of rock music's greatest legends, having spawned several films: In 2002, Michael Winterbottom made the film "24 Hours Party People" about the Manchester scene in which Joy Division played a key role. In 2007, photographer and director Anton Corbijn, who also took the band's iconic photographs, made the powerful biopic "Control", based on Ian Curtis' wife Deborah Curtis' biography "Touching From A Distance". This year also marks the 40th anniversary of Ian Curtis' death. To mark the occasion, the biography "Searing Light, the Sun and Everything Else" by renowned English journalist and cultural historian Jon Savage has just been published by Heyne Hardcore.
