40 years on, Joy Division announce an anniversary, special vinyl edition of the album ‘Still,’ out February 11, 2022. The release follows reissues of the ground-breaking debut album ‘Unknown Pleasures’ and sophomore classic ‘Closer’.  ‘Still’ will be a limited edition release with a ruby red sleeve, pressed on crystal clear vinyl.  It will be exclusive to https://store.neworder.com/uk/ New Order’s official webstore.

‘Still’ is a compilation album first released in 1981 after the death of Joy Division singer Ian Curtis. Their two previous albums had already cemented the Manchester band’s iconic status in music history and ‘Still’ filled in gaps.

It featured previously unreleased studio material, two non-album tracks ‘Dead Souls’ and ‘Glass’ and a live recording of Joy Division’s last ever concert, at Birmingham University. The show included the only live performance of ‘Ceremony’ by the band, who later became New Order with the addition of Gillian Gilbert and released it as a single.

New Order recently returned to live performance with a triumphant hometown show at Manchester’s Heaton Park. They will be back for a show at The O2, London on November 6th.
