Joy Division Licht Und Blindheit French 7" vinyl single (7 inch record / 45) Tracklisting / Additional Info: Released in March 1980 on the tiny French imprint Sordide Sentimental run by Jean-Pierre Turmel and Yves von Bonteean, this is an absolute classic single and the first release of Atmosphere on seven inch. Limited to just 1578 copies, each one of the lavish packages was individually numbered. This low numbered example is numbered No. 000397. Following the death of Ian Curtis two months later, this was released in the UK but with an alternate version of She's Lost control as the B Side. Condition: The picture folder shows just minor edge scuffing with no folds or creases. The internal gatefold contains a narrative in French by Jean-Pierre Turmel and a picture of the band by Anton Corbijn. The centre has a tracing paper pocket which housed the 7-inch itself, a fold-out English translation of the narrative by Paul Buck and a smaller blue insert with just 'AVERTISSEMENT' and 'GESAMTKUNSTWERK' text. Both inserts remain near 'as new' & all text inside the gatefold is bright and sharp. The glue holding the pocket edges has turned the same brown that every other genuine copy displays - also, the glue holding the rice paper pocket intact has slightly come unstuck one side [this could easily be repaired]. The labels are silver on black with a serrated anti-skate ring around the label edge. The disc runs at 33RPM, making this technically an EP called Licht Und Blindheit, although it is often referred to as 'Sordide Sentimental', which was actually the label. The vinyl on this copy is Near Mint & shows few signs of play. A spectacular copy of this Joy Division 'Grail' release. Tracklist: Face A: Atmosphere 4:09 Face B: Dead Souls 4:53 Matrices (hand scratched): MPO SS33002A T_ MPO SS33002B T_ Both tracks produced by Martin Hannett ...
