Hey John,

Joy Division was a very influential band on the UK punk/pop scene back in the late 70's and early 80's. They also went on to form another influential band of the time, New Order after the lead singer Ian Curtis committed suicide.

As to why its $150 more, that I cannot answer, while it is a limited edition of just 500 I myself could not justify the cost, even as a Joy Division fan.

They also recently released a Best Of album, which is in the Zune marketplace. If you have a Zune Pass you may want to give it a listen.
