In 2023 we came across a copy with TAKRL style labels. Otherwise it's identical - the same matrix numbers, sleeve etc







At least one copy came with this insert - which may have been added later. It looks more modern


 

You're No Good For Me Transmission
The Drawback Shadowplay
They Walked in Line * Leaders of Men
Failures (of the Modern Man) Novelty
Ice Age No Love Lost
Interzone  
Warsaw  

* Not listed on the back cover

All the songs on this LP are from the RCA sessions 3rd & 4th May 1978, apart from "You're No Good For Me" which is an early Warsaw demo from the Pennine Sound Studios session 18 July 1977.




This LP was later reissued as the 2nd LP of A Darkness In My Soul - exactly the same LP but with different labels ... and then copies of A Darkness In My Soul LP2 were reissued as Failures with an insert sleeve (see listing below)




JOY DIVISION - FAILURES (LP) TROPO 315 Tropo Records.

Reissue of the above (or more precisely LP2 of A Darkness In My Soul)
Marbled purple vinyl
Plain black sleeve with photocopied A4 insert
Labels are different to the listing above (but the same as LP2 of A Darkness In My Soul)

We believe the A4 insert above is probably the original but others have surfaced over the years...
