When:

17071980

Short story:

Joy Division release their second (and last) album, Closer, on Factory Records in the UK.

Full article:

Robert Smith (The Cure) : I remember hearing Closer for the first time and thinking, ‘I can’t ever imagine making something as powerful as this.’ That pushed me further on … I thought I’d have to kill myself to make a convincing record, but I never reached that truly black moment when I couldn’t see anything worth fighting for.
