Description

 

An Ideal For Living EP - Joy Division (12" EP)

This is an original and rare copy of Joy Division's first release, recorded in December 1977 and released on Anonymous Records (Anon 1).  The  EP's four tracks are:

Warsaw; No Love Lost; Leaders Of Men; and Failures.

I originally purchased this record at Virgin Records in Manchester in 1978.  I first bought the 7" version of the EP but after finding that the 7" pressings were very poor, I opted to buy the 12" version.  Unlike the 7" pressing, the 12" pressing is truly excellent.  

   The vinyl is still in excellent condition.  The cover is in very good condition.    It would be difficult to find many better copies of this record.  My understanding is that only 1,000 copies were pressed of the 12" version of the EP and  a similar number of the 7" version.  A genuine collector's item.
