Closer, the band's 1980 sophomore album released two months after the death of lead singer Ian Curtis, continued where the first album left off, with "Heart And Soul", "Isolation", and "Twenty Four Hours".
The album is the band's biggest selling to date, with over one million copies sold, going platinum in the US with a Top 5 hit in True Faith which was accompanied by the seminal video, directed by French choreographer Philippe Decouflé.
Changes to the original 1997 release include putting Talk Talk's greatest hits in chronological order and with a new inclusion from the band's final album, Laughing Stock.
The result is a record caught between worlds: stark, brooding post-punk reminiscent of Closer, and the first flickers of the electronic direction that would later define New Order.
Split almost evenly between guitar-driven post-punk tracks and synth-heavy dance cuts, the record embodies the dual identity that defined the band throughout the 1980s.
