Permanent is a compilation by Joy Division, featuring 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" entitled Permanent mix. This version of the song features guitar throughout the song, eliminating some of the synths and pushing Hook's basslines to the very back of the mix. The liner notes (first on a Joy Division album) were provided by Jon Savage.
