Rhino plans Joy Division "Best Of" collections
Rhino has scheduled the release of a new best of collection from Joy Division. The US version, due out April 29, 2008, will feature 14 tracks from the band's two albums (Closer and Unknown Pleasures) as well as their Peel Sessions.
Europeans will be given a much larger package, with a UK release due out March 24, 2008 that will feature two discs with an interview, the entirety of their Peel Sessions and live recordings of "Transmission" and "She's Lost Control."
The band's late singer, Ian Curtis, was recently the subject of a well–regarded biopic, Control, directed by Anton Corbijn. A DVD of that film is expected in June.
