Rhino To Reissue First Five New Order Albums

BY Brock ThiessenPublished Sep 4, 2008

Say what you will about the New Order of today, but it’s hard to deny their ’80s albums are anything but great. Movement, Power, Corruption & Lies, Low-Life, Brotherhood and Technique are all classics and still stand up decades later. Fans know this and it seems Rhino knows this as well, with the label announcing that it will be reissuing each album this fall.

On September 28, Rhino will re-release each of New Order’s five ’80s albums, packaging each with a bonus disc of extended versions, b-sides, remixes and hard-to-find gems, of which there are many. Also included in each reissue will be "extensive sleeve notes” filled with interviews from all four band members. However, considering the recent tension surrounding the band, it’s likely the interviews didn’t take place with everyone in the same room.

As we previously reported, nearly a year ago the band semi-officially broke up, with bassist Peter Hook telling XFM that he was done working with the band and was relieved to get the secret out. In 2007, he later told NME: "We've decided not to work together anymore. It's been on-off-on for a while and last time we just went our separate ways."

Break up or not, it’s really always been all about the New Order of old, which by the looks of these tracklistings is going to be presented pretty awesomely. Here they are:
