A Fractured Music A Factory Record Side A: For ∙ ML Side B: 18/4/80 For ML refers to Martha Ladly, Peter Saville's then girlfriend. Track B2 not credited on sleeve or label. Side A plays 45rpm, side B plays 33 1/3 rpm. The final numbers in the matrices are written horizontally and are separate from the other etchings. Glossy sleeve, with cut-out and curved, at the bottom, glue-flaps. Vinyl can appear to be red translucent when held up to a light. Some copies were post-manufacturing dinked to be played in jukebox (see images). Other 1980 UK versions exist, both without additional numbers at the end of the matrix: [url=https://www.discogs.com/Joy-Division-Love-Will-Tear-Us-Apart/release/8052139]Matte sleeve[/url], with squared cut-out on reverse and straight glue flaps.
