Product Description
CD Description
This is a unique Joy Division retrospective boxset consisting of 10 CD singles in a clamshell box. All tracks have been newly re-mastered from original tapes by Stephen Morris and Frank Arkwright (Metropolis Studios). Compiled by renowned journalist and author Jon Savage, the boxset includes the singles ‘Transmission’, ‘She’s Lost Control’ and 'Love Will Tear Us Apart’. As a co-founder of the legendary independent label Factory Records, Peter Saville leant his eyes to the project suggesting the concept for the sleeves. Each cover is based upon its original and - as a snapshot of a band and a time - serves to remind the owner of the unique position Joy Division hold in British musical history.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Ouch! I wasn't expecting that.,
By wobblenut "wobblenut" (Much Crumpet, U.K) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Plus Minus: Singles 1978-1980 [7" Vinyl - Singles Box] (Vinyl)
Nice clamshell box, but shoddy repro' artwork on the 7" sleeves! Avoid unless you really have to have these on vinyl or just want a nice clam :-)
How come the bootleggers always seem to do such a great job (see A Factory Sample booty) & the majors invariably let you down? Of course, the artwork on the 7" sleeves is probably ironic arty fartyness - but what do I know eh? As for the music, it's obviously 5 stars - but what fan doesn't have these tracks several times over by now?

Great music;Shame about the artwork!,
This review is from: Plus Minus: Singles 1978-1980 [7" Vinyl - Singles Box] (Vinyl)
Joy Division's catalogue has been repackaged many times previously but this collection of 7" singles is a great way for fans or new listeners to enjoy their music.The sound quality from the vinyl is awesome when played on a high quality turntable through a hi fi.Remastering is always a contentious issue when it comes to such familiar music but in my view Frank Arkwright has done a great job.
This collection comes with a code to enable purchasers to download MP3 versions of all the songs from Rhino and I'm pleased to report that the Bit Rate is 320kps so the sound quality is acceptable as far as MP3s are concerned. The artwork is the let down of this collection.What appear to be photocopies of the original sleeve artwork is not really acceptable in this day and age in a product costing in excess of £50.I'd have rather seen new artwork by a modern sleeve designer capable of interpreting the essence of the originals.I wasn't surprised that the downloadable versions don't have any artwork at all!

I had been waiting for this for sometime so you can imagine by disappointment when it arrived. It is supposed have been done with Stephen Morris and that makes it even more disappointing. Why didn't they do a beautiful job of re-creating the original sleeves I do not know - so much of what JD is about is the work that Peter Saville did with them. This is not the boxset that fans have been waiting for. Hate to say this but save your hard earned money until something better is released.
