"Komakino" is a June 1980 single by the English post-punk band Joy Division. Like "Dead Souls" and "Transmission", the song was written between their first album Unknown Pleasures (1979) and second, final album Closer (1980).

Release

It was released on Factory Records as a 7inches flexi disc given away in select record shops.[2] 75,000 copies were pressed. The single's B-sides are "Incubation" and "As You Said"; both instrumentals. "Komakino" and "Incubation" appear on the 1988 compilation Substance, and "As You Said" was added in the expanded reissue of the album in 2015 and in the B-side of New Order's Video 586 single. The three tracks are collected on the 4-CD 1997 compilation Heart and Soul.
