JOY DIVISION - CLOSER - LIVE

Back in stock! For the first time, you have the opportunity to taste these CREATIONS in their Rawests formats, Alive and unleashed . More austere, more claustrophobic, and more haunting than the studio works, they show an impeccable encapsulation of everything the group sought to achieve in a crude version. Ruthlessly testing effective despite notorious lack of suitability, the live sets are also vital reminders that these purveyors of almost untamed sadness were human too.
