Description

Joy Division -


ULTRA RARE First Pressing of their Second Album - Closer and on RED vinyl


1980 release with shinier plain sleeve and still in it's original shrink wrap


 A collectors dream!



For information (As several have now asked) the run-outs are as follows -


Side A is the 'old blue?' Fact 25 A1 pressing - Smaller Scribe


Side B Fact 25 B1 - Larger Scribe


These record sleeves are now often found in a dirty condition due to the white colour and age but this is the first I have seen / owned in it's original shrink which has done the record proud! Super rare to find this way and the colour just makes this the perfect collectible.


Record play tested and sounds great, sleeves great.


A truly outstanding piece considering this is now nearly 45 years old.


Always conservative with gradings - please see photos and judge for yourselves (You will not be disappointed with this at all).



Currently thinning out my ever-increasing collection - an extremely reluctant sale indeed - a truly delightful copy of a great record!



Please see my many other listings including further vinyl / music and memorabilia.


I do also have the following Joy Division pieces currently listed:


Still - First Press Hessian Book Cover with Ribbon




Please note - 

Due to the latest Royal Mail fee increases and eBay fees postage has been priced accordingly - your record will also be mailed in a Royal Mail 'Record Mailer' with additional stiffeners for maximum protection whilst in transit.


Thank you ;)
