Notes
For unknown reasons, and unlike the other three 2020 remasters, design-wise this reproduces neither the first ever (August 1980, US), nor the first European (October 1980 ,UK) but the third, (November 1980, UK) pressing

Reviews
Sounds great……but only if you have no comparison. I tested it against the Italian 1st which beats this one in every aspect.
And it’s only the Italian first, wouldn’t be surprised the UK first sound even better.
This is perfection, not a single pop, soundstage is room filling, I recommend changing the inner sleeve couse it's not top quality. 180g it's solid plays solid and you'll never regret it.
Mi copia suena bien, una buen remasterizado, gran dinámica,disco plano y silencioso
One of the best songs of Joy Division. Never get tired of hearing this over and over again...........
Great !!!
The jacket and inner sleeve are spectacular, and the record is nice and weighty. The sound quality is stellar, both Atmosphere and She's Lost Control sound fantastic in 45rpm. However, my copy had a bit more than average level of surface noise, and has only lessened somewhat after several cleanings, so I'm not sure if it's just grime and static that haven't been removed yet, or if it's a pressing defect. Either way, I'm more than happy with it especially considering it got it for $12.
Packing and pressing are both absolutely spectacular quality. "She's Lost Control" will knock your socks off.
Are the versions on this release different from those on the album?
Love the pressing! This and Love Will Tear Us Apart came to me later than Transmission, and was scared about it, for the Transmission single was warped. But this one is just fine, no warp, no scratches, and after enough cleaning no pops and clicks. The inner sleeve is glossier paper, so you could expect some static straight out of shrink wrap :). Not to mention, it is heavy, so I'm pretty sure it's 180 g.
Superb pressing. My 1st press has been played so many times that it has some background noise but this reissue sounds just as good as that without the noise.- Fantastic Press. Absolutely flawless and stunning sounds! Pretty satisfied with single.
