1980: Kant Kino, Berlin - JOY DIVISION’s last date on their European tour (ph. Mark Reeder)
Harkening back to an era of goth we don’t really cover much on this page, which band book should I read first? We’ve got Unknown Pleasures by Peter Hooke talking about Joy Division, Cured by Lol Tolhurst talking about The Cure, and Who Killed Mister Moonlight? by David J. Haskins talking about Bauhaus

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Joy Division’s debut album, Unknown Pleasures, was released on 15 June 1979.
The album sleeve was designed by Peter Saville, who used an image of radio waves from a pulsar he found in The Cambridge Encyclopaedia of Astronomy.
Unknown Pleasures had an initial printing of 10,000 copies and failed to sell until Ian Curtis’s suicide on 18 May 1980.
