AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
General Information
Artist: Joy Division
Titles: Unknown Pleasures / Closer / Still
Label: Factory Records
Format: 3 x Cassette, Album, Reissue, Special Edition Box Sets
Country: UK
Catalog Numbers: Fact 10c / Fact 25c / Fact 40c
Description
This listing is for the complete set of three iconic Joy Division "Hessian" box set cassettes issued by Factory Records in the mid-1980s. These editions are famous for their minimalist Peter Saville design, featuring textured, lilac-colored cloth-style card boxes.
The set includes:
Unknown Pleasures (Fact 10c): The debut masterpiece.
Closer (Fact 25c): The haunting final studio album.
Still (Fact 40c): The compilation of studio outtakes and the final live performance at Birmingham University.
Condition
Overall Grade: Near Mint (NM)
Boxes: The purple textured outer shells are in incredible condition. The corners are sharp, the color remains vibrant without the typical "sun-fading" or browning often seen with these releases, and the silver/grey lettering is crisp and fully legible.
Cassettes/Inlays: The cassette shells and internal J-cards are exceptionally clean, showing little to no signs of handling.
Play Grade: Tapes appear visually perfect; pressure pads are intact and the magnetic tape shows no signs of warping or mold.
Notes for Collectors
Finding all three of these specific Factory reissues together in Near Mint condition is increasingly difficult. Because of the porous nature of the textured paper used for these boxes, they are highly susceptible to storage wear and foxing. This set has clearly been kept in a smoke-free, climate-controlled environment, making it a definitive "archive quality" addition to any Joy Division collection.
