An Ideal For Living

Joy Division · 1982 · Vinyl-7" · GB · PSS 139

Early 1980s bootleg version, with different runouts than the later 2004 bootleg which adds "EG". The sleeve of this release is near identical to the 1978 original. It is printed on a 14" x 14" piece of thin cardstock (heavier weight than the original) and then folded into four squares, and has a matte finish (not gloss like the later US pressing). Matrix is similar, but not identical, to the 1978 release, Vinyl does not have the serrated vinyl around the labels as on the 1978 original. This release is smooth around the labels.
