New Order Will Be Re-Released

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Record label Rhino Records is about to re-release five New Order albums that were originally made back in the 1980’s, said undercover.com.au. Particularly these albums will be “Movement” (1981), “Power, Corruption, Lies” (1983), “Low-Life” (1985), “Brotherhood” (1986), and “Technique” (1989). All of them should be officially available on September 28. Old stuff – new format it seems… The new release will contain all kinds of interviews, texts and various additional discs with the remixed versions together with previously unreleased singles. Re-releasing became popular due to the band’s and record label’s wishes to recall nostalgia or certain needs to get more money out of old sounds – both can be true.
