JOY DIVISION "closer" vinyl 1980
a recent aquisition.
the remastered 180g 40th anniversary vinyl.
had never heard the album in its entirity before but knew at least half the tracks.
post-punk is what they call this.
recorded in March 1980, Ian Curtis killed himself just weeks prior to its release...
started off in a really happy mood when the album started but by time it was over i was feeling sombre...
i guess Ian Curtis' state of mind/mood really shone through on here without me realising...
and any album that evokes such feelings and passion has done its job IMO
and for that reason alone....
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
favorite:
