Joy Division – Unknown Pleasures (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
The Manchester post-punk scene of 1979 was already generating heat, but nothing prepared listeners for the cavernous, isolationist sound Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris, and Ian Curtis had arrived at. Hook's melodic bass work sits front and center throughout, a signature approach that would go on to influence a generation of players who had never even considered the instrument could carry a song that way.
Import 180-gram vinyl pressing. Unknown Pleasures is the debut studio album by English rock band Joy Division, released on 15 June 1979 by Factory Records. The album was recorded and mixed over three successive weekends at Stockport's Strawberry Studios in April 1979, and was produced by Martin Hannett who incorporated a number of unconventional production techniques into the group's sound. The cover artwork was designed by artist Peter Saville, using a data plot of signals from a radio pulsar. It is the only Joy Division album released during lead singer Ian Curtis's lifetime.
