New Order - Low-Life

Definitive Edition Low-Life 180-gram LP, 2CD, 2DVD and book box set!

New Order have announced the Definitive Edition box set of their third studio album, 1985's Low-Life, which will be out January 27, 2023 via Rhino. The 2CD/2DVD/1LP collection includes rare and unreleased material, new sleeve designs, and a hardbound book.

The set comes with the original album remastered on 180-gram vinyl and CD, a second CD of unreleased audio, two DVDs of live performances from 1984 and 1985, plus a hardback book.

The vinyl album and CD are both wrapped in the original tracing paper jacket, not available since the first pressing, and the first time ever for the CD.

CD2 contains 12 previously unreleased mixes and alternative versions, including "Love Vigilantes" and "Sub-Culture" instrumentals, plus "Sooner Than You Think" (Full-Length Unedited).

The two DVDs include rarely seen live performances from Rotterdam Arena (Netherlands), Koseinenkin Hall (Tokyo, Japan) and the International Centre (Toronto, Canada) alongside a BBC session and three tracks performed at the Hacienda in 1985.

Also included in the set is a beautifully presented hardback book featuring rare photos and a new interview with the band.
