Joy Division 'Best Of' to see release (but why?)

It was always going to happen wasn't it? Rhino Records are set to release a Joy Division Best Of album later this month (March 24). The 14 track comp includes all the hits (ha!) like ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’, ‘Atmosphere’ and ‘Isolation.’ The CD version of the album will come complete with a bonus John Peel session recorded back in 1979, as well as two songs recorded for Something Else on the same year.

Obviously I don't begrudge people buying Joy Division, but surely, as the band have so little in the way of a back catalogue, you could easily go and buy it all without denting the bank account too much? Either way, if you're too lazy or want to buy a back-up for your vinyl copies, this looks to be as complete a retrospective as you could hope for... tracklisting overleaf...
