JOY DIVISION Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division (2012
UK first edition 336-page hardback book by Peter Hook. Joy
Division changed the face of music. The sound of music. The
meaning of music. Godfathers of the current alternative scene,
they reinvented rock in the post-punk era, creating a new sound
-- dark, hypnotic, intense - that would influence U2, Morrissey,
R.E.M., Radiohead and many others. The band's image, once
subversive and alienating, has become an internationally
renowned 'look' well documented by photographers Anton
Corbijn, Kevin Cummins and graphic designer Peter Saville.
Inspired by the attitude, energy and sound of Punk, particularly
the Sex Pistols, Peter Hook and his old school friend Bernard
Sumner started a band which continues to influence popular
music 35 years later. Complete with the original dust cover and
housed in a textured picture slipcase - still sealed from new)
