Description:
Joy Division`s 1979 debut UNKNOWN PLEASURES is a landmark album whose atmospheric soundscape and complex layers of emotion established the band as principal architects and ultimate icons of the post-punk movement and the U.K. Manchester scene of the late `70s. It remains one of the definitive LPs of its era. Coinciding with the U.S. premiere of Control, the new Anton Corbijn-directed film about Joy Division lead singer Ian Curtis` life, Rhino`s deluxe Unknown Pleasures (Collectors Edition) is an expanded 2-CD set featuring the original album on Disc One plus a bonus Disc Two. Disc Two features a previously unreleased concert recorded live at the Factory in the band`s hometown of Manchester on July 13, 1979. It features thirteen songs including Candidate, She`s Lost Control, Insight, and their smash single Love Will Tear Us Apart (which did not appear on either of their original albums).(Rhino)
