Additional Information

Comments Reissue from a newly cut master. First released in [url=http://www.discogs.com/Joy-Division-An-Ideal-For-Living/release/498856]1978[/url].

Released exclusively for Record Store Day 2014 on the 19th April 2014 in two pressing variants: this US pressing and a [url=http://www.discogs.com/Joy-Division-An-Ideal-For-Living/release/5605571]different EU pressing[/url], that has the same barcode but different matrix runout numbers and only one catalog number.

Grey hype sticker on front cover: "Joy Division An Ideal For Living Exclusive release for Record Store Day 2014 R1 542318". This US pressing (only) has a second grey sticker on front cover: "Record Store Day Exclusive".

Catalog number "R1 542318" appears on the spine, rear of the jacket and the first front cover hype sticker; catalog number "JDPM11" appears on the record labels.

Total worldwide pressing volume confirmed as 13,500, with confirmed release quantities of 7,500 in the US and 1,500 in the UK, leaving 4,500 RoW.

Actual US vs EU pressing quantities (totaling 13,500) currently unconfirmed. Both pressing variants confirmed as sold simultaneously on release day in RSD supporting record stores in New Zealand and Australia, meaning actual US pressing number may be higher than 7,500.

This US pressing confirmed as the main variant sold on release day in RSD supporting record stores in the United States, however EU pressings also confirmed as imported and sold on release day in some US based RSD supporting record stores with a different second silver import sticker replacing the RSD exclusive sticker (see [url=http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=5605571]EU pressing images[/url]).

US promo release copies also confirmed: copies released sealed in shrinkwrap with no front cover hype stickers for either the release name (normally lower left) nor Record Store Day (normally lower right), with the rear cover barcode struck through with marker pen UNDER the shrinkwrap.
