More Joy Division Reissues? Yes, Please
As of today, Joy Division singer Ian Curtis has been gone for 35 years. He hanged himself in his kitchen in the early morning hours of Monday, May 18, 1980. Now you know why New Order called that song “Blue Monday” (and why the Happy Mondays chose that name).
The fascination with Joy Division seems to be immortal. Why else would the band’s studio albums and compilations be coming out on 180-gram vinyl this summer?
Rhino Records wants us to remember a couple of dates. On June 28, new editions of Unknown Pleasures and Closer will be available. Each is a painstakingly recreated replica of the original albums that were released in 1979 and 1980.
