 Label scan - featuring LWTUA |
Atrocity Exhibition Heart And Soul Isolation Twenty-Four Hours Passover The Eternal Colony Decades A Means To An End Love Will Tear us Apart
Joy Division albums weren't available in Brazil in the early 80s, so someone issued this pirate copy of Closer with LWTUA as a bonus track. This album apparently sold really well, and when a Brazilian record company finally got around to issuing the JD albums they decided to include LWTUA on the official version too.
Footnote: Official Brazilian pressings are normally licenced to the Stiletto label (if our Portuguese is correct) and issued by Estúdio Eldorado LTDA. or BMG Ariola.
