Closer (40th Anniversary Limited Crystal Clear Edition)

• Track Listing

Issued in the wake of Ian Curtis’s untimely passing, this Factory Records release from July 1980 reached #6 UK and became NME’s 1980 Album of the Year. Martin Hannett and the band created an otherworldly sound to go with these haunting, even harrowing songs: "Atrocity Exhibition," "Isolation," "Passover," "Twenty Four Hours," "The Eternal," "Decades" and more. Perhaps THE definitive post-punk LP, now on 180-gram crystal-clear vinyl. Rhino/Warner Bros.
