love will tear us apart

"Love Will Tear Us Apart" should have been the band's greatest moment - but instead it became their tragic swan son g. It was released just a month after frontman Ian Curtis' suicide, the song came to be seen as the unheeded warning of the impending tragedy.

This is a special edition vinyl featuring all three versions of the song that transformed Joy Division from "just a band" into legend.

In addition to the original single version, it contains two versions remixed by American producers Don Gehman of John Mellencamp fame (the "Radio Version") and Arthur Baker (who also produced a hit single for Africa Bambaataa around this same time).

The rest of the tracks are THESE DAYS (part of the original single) and TRANSMISSION, i.e. their debut single, which was released in 1979) and ATMOSPHERE (originally released in 1980 only in France)
