An original promotional poster for Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures (1979). Likely one of the most bootlegged and reproduced images in 20th c music, this is an example of the original poster produced on release. Measures 72 x 95.5cm. In poor condition with losses, tears, repairs and a large painted message on reverse to read 'Happy Birthday To You' (this a message to the vendor from his thoughtful but perhaps slightly over zealous brother).
