Format:Audio CD
I am a convert from 'Closer'....so decided to buy the album of the same name, great songs lead me to buy this album, after some research went for 'substance'...now i cannot stop playing them.
After looking on Amazon for more JD cd's saw the new release of 'Heart and soul'...a 4 cd boxed set for less than £18.00 with 81 tracks on could not be turned down.

I think that best offs are really ideal for people who either kind of like a band or for someone that wants to try them out. The thing is, Joy Division are one of the best bands of all time. I could have the best of David Bowie, but I don't - I have all his albums and have enjoyed the music much more for it. There is no substitute for an album.
There is also a very natural flow to albums like Unknown Pleasures which you will simply miss out on with a best of. The inclusion of the Peel sessions is good, but realistically that's only for a true Joy Division fan and they will probably already have them.
My advice is to get Unknown Pleasures first if you're new to Joy Division - it is one of the most startlingly accomplished albums I have ever heard. From there, get Closer and if you're loving what you're hearing seek out such amazing tracks as Transmission, Atmosphere, Love Will Tear Us Apart and Dead Souls. Joy Division have an incredibly strong catalogue of songs. The fact that they kept some of these tracks/singles off their albums might hint that they weren't good enough, but the truth is that this band was so good that these singles matched if not superseced some of the album tracks!
I'll finish by adding that if you do love Joy Division and want to hear some bands that have similar styles, try out Magazine, Echo & The Bunnymen (particularly Heaven Up Here) and early The Cure.

If your new to Joy Division then this is a good intro, and with the peel sessions (alone cost double this 2cd comp) chucked in its good value for anyone who hasnt got them already. Thats why I got it!

This is a whole Joy division package with songs which blow your mind away. Also with John Peel Sessions and Interviews it's quality. Ian Curtis was a talented individual indeed. Read more

There's something odd about the way the Joy Division-the 3rd name for what were a bunch of amatuer Manchester musicians-selected the name. Read more

New fan
Bought this for the old man, cos he fell in love with JD after seeing the film "Control". He plays it constantly.

Love It.
Love this album. Arrived in perfect condition and the interview at the end of Disc Two really brought a smile to my face.

Doesn't get much better than this. Some of the finest tracks off the finest albums.

Pop Perfection
The ugliest band of all-time wrote and recorded the most beautiful love song of all-time.
LOVE WILL TEAR US APART is the most moving romantic song that will NEVER be bettered.
