Closer was recorded in March 1980 at Britannia Row Studios in Islington, London with producer Martin Hannett.

The reissue will also be available as a bundle which will include non-album singles "Transmission", "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and "Atmosphere", which haven't been repressed or reissued before.
