Permanent is a compilation album by English post-punk band Joy Division. Permanent contains tracks from the band’s two studio albums, Unknown Pleasures and Closer, as well as other tracks previously released on the compilations Substance and Still.
The one new track is a new mix of Love Will Tear Us Apart titled Permanent mix. This version of the song features guitar throughout the song, balancing the synths and bass giving a fuller sound. The liner notes (first on a Joy Division album) were provided by Jon Savage.
