Get your hands on this limited 180 - gram audiophile vinyl LP of 'Closer', the second album by the iconic Manchester post - punk band Joy Division. It comes in the original packaging designed by Peter Saville. Released two months after the tragic death of lead singer Ian Curtis in 1980, the album continues the musical journey from their first album, featuring hit tracks like 'Heart And Soul', 'Isolation', and 'Twenty Four Hours'. Originally named Warsaw, Joy Division was formed by Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook after a Sex Pistols gig. The band included Ian Curtis on vocals, Bernard Sumner on guitar and keyboards, Peter Hook on bass, and Stephen Morris on drums. They evolved from their punk roots to pioneer the post - punk movement. In May 1980, at just 23 years old, Ian Curtis committed suicide before their first American tour. After his death, the remaining members went on to form New Order and achieved great success. Today, Joy Division is regarded as one of the most influential bands of the late 1970s. Tracklist: 1. Atrocity Exhibition; 2. Isolation; 3. Passover; 4. Colony; 5. A Means To An End; 6. Heart And Soul; 7. Twenty Four Hours; 8. The Eternal; 9. Decades.
Using this vinyl record is easy. First, make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable and use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the starting groove of the first track. Sit back and enjoy the high - quality sound. When you're done, lift the tonearm carefully and place it back in its rest. Then, take the record off the turntable. To keep it in top shape, always handle the record by its edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface. Store it in a cool, dry place, standing upright in a record sleeve. This will prevent warping and damage. Also, clean the record regularly with a soft, anti - static brush to remove dust and debris. If you notice any scratches, don't try to fix them yourself as this can cause more damage. Instead, take it to a professional record repair service.
