Joy Division was one of the most influential bands of the 1970s, pioneering a new genre of music and defining the look and the sound of the post-punk era. Kevin Cummins, one of the most celebrated music photographers of his generation, began his career as the band formed and followed them more closely than any other photographer, from their early days in Manchester through their signing to Factory Records and their untimely demise after the suicide in 1980 of their singer, Ian Curtis. Joy Division collects more than two hundred of Cummins' iconic and enduring images of the band--sensitive photographs that capture the group's quiet introspection off stage, their remarkably close relationships as bandmates, and their legendary energy in live performance--and supplements them with concert tickets, fan club badges, Factory Records flyers, and other rare ephemera. Designed by former art director of The Face, Lee Swillingham, this book is the most definitive and honest visual document of the band ever produced.
