Joy Division to re-release classic single

Will 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' be a hit a third time?

Joy Division’s classic final single 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' is to be-released next month.

The track, out September 24, is being reissued ahead of the release of 'Control', the movie biopic about the life of the band's singer Ian Curtis, which is out on October 5.

What a classic, still stands the test of time.

It is a classic, definitely. I remember buying it on 7" in HMV as a callow 16-year-old and the bloke behind the counter going "nice one, mate". And it made me strangely proud.
