Sound quality is wonderful, punchy, and strong, perfect for Joy Division!

I've got 2 copies of the reissue now with the exact same flaw - a nasty edge warp/blip where the needle jumps out of the groove at the beginning of the track. On each side. If I place the needle about 40-50 seconds (guess) into the song it tracks ok the rest of the way. I've played over 500 records on my current setup and never had the needle jump out of the groove before. Should I keep returning them for replacements? or is it hopeless.

My copy has no warp, embossed cover is a nice touch- I like how they've been so faithful reproducing the original art and sleeves of this release. The sound is fantastic- 12" 45s are the way to go to listen to the joy division singles. It is incomparable. A touch of light surface noise in the beginning of each side, but it's drowned out once the music gets going. Honestly this comes as a close second to the Atmosphere 12" in of sound quality, and that record blew my mind the first time I spun it, which really says something. I think this is going for about $12-14 on Amazon right now- definitely worth a grab!

Nice reissue, love the pressing. It was the first single out of the three that got mailed to me, so was excited and opened it. Sadly, it was warped. Nevertheless, I cleaned it and span the record, and even tho it looked funny jumping up and down, the needle didn't jump out of it's groove! Still, it looked also really scary and probably won't play it that often, but it's a nice addition to my collection.
P.S.: The other singles weren't warped and after cleaning sounded fantastic just like this one. The warp was probably a rare thing.

Excellent reissue. Sound quality is excellent, vinyl flat and quiet.

i hope someone will add more pictures,especially from the innersleeve as i am keeping my copies sealed.thanks upfront....-d-

I concur: my copy arrived today, sounds great, can't be happier.

Fantastic Pressing! Sounds amazing. 180g seems excessive for 12", but I ain't complaining!

Great sound, great (original) sleeve design! Happy to finally collect the missing 12” singles in my joy division collection. Now if only these were all analogue transfers, I’d give them a solid 10 out 10. As it’s rather all digital in reality, my rating is 8 out 10.
