Joy Division's entire back-catalogue is to reissued and remastered on vinyl to mark the 35th anniversary of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'.
The career-defining track turns 35 this year, and to celebrate, Rhino Records will be reissuing the entirety of the band's material. Sadly, thanks to the untimely death of lead singer Ian Curtis, that isn't actually a huge amount - the band released just two albums, Unknown Pleasures and Closer, which were followed subsequent to Curtis' death by two compilation albums, Still and Substance.
All four of these will be re-released on 180-gram vinyl throughout June and July. The expanded edition of Substance features two bonus tracks, 'As You Said' and the Pennine version of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'.

Unknown Pleasures and Closer will be available from 29 June, while Still and Substance will follow on 24 July.
Meanwhile, the band's bassist Peter Hook tonight performs every Joy Division song for charity at a one-off gig in Macclesfield.
