Joy Division- Unknown Pleasures

CD Analyasis 

• The Unknown Pleasures CD is a replica of the Vinyl, so there are still certain parts of the digi pak that have essences of a vinyl throughout it. 
• The front cover is black, with the Joy division logo, this makes the digi pak clear who the artist is and which album it is. 

• The back of the digi pack is also black, it has three thin lines, one of them is underlining the the band name and album title and the other is underlining the record label (which is 'Factory Records). The middle line is not underlining anything. 

 

• The spine is black and has the band and album title. It also has about the rights and licesing.  

 

• Inside the digi pak (opened once), one side is white and the other is black, the white side has a small picture of a hand reaching out to a door knob, it is as if the camera is looking down a hallway. This image links to Joy divisions big hit song 'Love will Tear Us Apart' and this is used in the video to this song. 
  

• When opening the left side, there is the CD and a booklet in a pocket. The booklet pocket tells you the location of where the CD was recorded, the dates and song list.

• The leaflet is all in black and white, it has images of the locations that they played at and images of the band members. The leaflet speaks about the lives oif the band members, songs and albums. I think this is a good idea, especially for new fans, as it gives them a lot of information and makes them feel closer to the band. 

• The CD is black, with the logo, band name, album title and the item code. This keeps the CD relativley close to the vinyl, not much has been changed. This pleases the older fans who have invested in buying the CD. 

 

• When the right side of the digi pak is opened, there is another CD, it is plain black and has 'The Factory Manchester Live13 July 1929' written on it.  On the other side, there is a white page, it has the outside and inside songs, which is what would have been in the vinyl case to tell you what songs were on  what part of the disc. It also tells you the song lenghts. Underneath this, there is the credits.
   
• This digi pak is extremley simple and I don't think we would decide to do something like this. I, personally, like the Manson digi pak with the thermo sensitive disc and the textured case, I think this is very interesting and makes it different and stand out from other digi paks. I would like to consider doing something like this for our digi pak.
