Unknown Pleasures is the debut studio album by English rock band Joy Division, released on 15 June 1979 by Factory Records

Debut album by Salford post-punkers Joy Division. Recorded in April 1979, Martin Hannet’s unique production techniques and Ian Curtis’s doomed lyrics and monotone vocal lend the album a downbeat greatness that has been often emulated yet rarely surpassed. One of only two albums recorded by the band before Curtis’s tragic suicide in 1980.
