An Ideal for Living is the first record by the English rock band Joy Division. The EP was released on 3 June 1978 through the band's own label, Enigma, shortly after the group changed their name from Warsaw. The recording took place in Oldham in December 1977. The original 7-inch record cover features a blond Hitler Youth member beating a drum.
