FACT 25 - Joy Division 'Closer' Recorded at Pink Floyd’s studio - Britannia Row, the album has a more mature sound than Unknown Pleasures and a lyrical, emotional depth, that is easy to acknowledge now with hindsight of what would unfold following the completion of the album.

The single's original sleeve, created by Factory designer @P_Saville_Assoc and Brett Wickens, was die-cut with a silver inner sleeve. It cost so much to produce that Factory Records actually lost money on each copy sold #BlueMonday
