Joy Division
Unknown Pleasures

Factory Records
Fact 10

UK 1979
Tranco pressing
Vinyl is translucent red when held against a strong light

textured outer sleeve


handcraft mistake:
this version has runouts not according printed labels and sleeve and order of songs on the vinyl.
Usually Side A is OUTSIDE (black label). Side B is INSIDE (white label).
But, to add some confusion, the metalworker, assigned "Outside" to B and "Inside" to A in the runouts.
So the actual track order is switched to the runout etching; see also below under 'etching on runout'.

(bought 1980 at Phondus -the record store in Munich for New Wave music)
