Description
"+/-" (plus minus) is a unique Joy Division retrospective box set consisting of 10 7" singles on vinyl presented in a beautiful, textured clamshell box. All tracks have been newly re-mastered from original tapes by Stephen Morris and Frank Arkwright (Metropolis Studios) with creative direction for "+/ -" box set artwork coming from Peter Saville.
This deluxe edition is one of the first 500 produced and is numbered 322 of 500. It contains an art piece by Peter Saville and 2 CDs containing tracks from the 7" singles. These items were exclusive to the first 500 deluxe editions, and not the standard limited edition which only contained the 7" singles. It also contains a code to download all tracks as mp3s for free.
Compiled by renowned journalist and author Jon Savage, the boxset was released in November 2010 in celebration of Ian Curtis - in the year that is the 30th anniversary of his death. "+/-" includes 7"'s which have previously been issued and some which have been created specifically for this release. Although they released two albums in two years – "Unknown Pleasures" (1979) and "Closer" (1980), Joy Division recorded many other tracks throughout their career that were released on stand-alone singles - most notably "Transmission" and "Love Will Tear Us Apart". "+/-" brings these singles, and more, together in one place.
As a co-founder of the legendary independent label Factory Records Peter Saville leant his eyes to the project providing stunning outer packaging and suggesting the concept for the sleeves. Each cover is based upon its original and - as a snapshot of a band and a time - serves to remind the owner of the unique position Joy Division hold in British musical history.
The box set is brand new, in mint condition, and unplayed. It is not sealed but I have stored it in the cardboard mailer since I first received it. It is a lovely item and it pains me to sell it, but needs must!
