Description:
Joy Division`s 1980 album Closer is a landmark of post-punk musical expression that ranks #157 on Rolling Stone`s `500 Greatest Albums Of All Time.` Throughout, it was musically and lyrically informed by the despair of lead singer and principal songwriter Ian Curtis, who would end his life mere months after the disc first came out. Coinciding with the U.S. premiere of Control, the new Anton Corbijn-directed film about Curtis` life, Rhino`s deluxe Closer (Collectors Edition) is an expanded 2-CD set featuring the original album on Disc One plus a bonus Disc Two that features a previously unreleased concert performance recorded live at the University of London on February 8, 1980. It features twelve songs including Dead Souls, Glass,Twenty Four Hours and an encore of The Eternal and Digital.(Rhino)
