New Order - Power Corruption and Lies

Definitive Edition Box Set 2020

180-gram LP + 2CDs + 2DVDs + 48-page hardbound book

Remastered for the first time from the original analog tape masters

New Order have announced a special boxset for their seminal second album Power Corruption & Lies. Released in 1983 via Factory Records, the LP features the tracks "Blue Monday," "Age Of Consent" and "Your Silent Face," and was hailed as New Order's best album by NME back in 2018.

The collection, which includes an LP, two CDs, two DVDs and a hardbound book, features the album remastered for the first time from the original analog tape masters on LP and CD. The Extras CD contains previously unreleased writing sessions from New Order’s Manchester rehearsal rooms and the 1982 John Peel Session for the BBC. The DVDs capture New Order live during 1982 & 83 at The Hacienda and Kilkenny, the 1984 Play at Home Channel 4 TV documentary and other rare live & TV performances. Finally a beautiful 48-page hardbound book of rare photos and original text collated by Warren Jackson (including a brand-new essay by Dave Simpson) completes the limited edition box designed by Peter Saville.

Released two years after their debut, Movement — after the band members who had played in Joy Division decided to move forward with a new group following the death of singer Ian Curtis — Power, Corruption and Lies made it to No. 4 on the U.K. chart. "Blue Monday" was their first Top 10 single in England, and it also made it up to No. 5 on the U.S. dance chart. It's the best-selling 12-inch of all time in the U.K.
