Being no stranger to expansive box sets, New Order have announced they will be expanding their classic 1981 debut album Movement for a new deluxe reissue.

Coming under the title of the Movement Definitive Edition, the sprawling box set will arrive on April 5 via Rhino.

The set comprises four discs. This includes original album on both vinyl and CD with the original Peter Saville artwork, as well as a bonus CD of unreleased demos and alternate takes, a DVD of live performances and a hardcover book. This is all housed in a big box featuring some newly commissioned artwork.

New Order will also be reissuing four 12-inch singles from the Movement era — "Ceremony (Version 1)," "Ceremony (Version 2)," "Everything's Gone Green" and "Temptation" — in their original sleeves starting March 8.

You can pre-order the set, as well as get more details, over here. There are various bundle options available, including some that include the box set and all the 12-inch reissues.

12″ Singles:

"Ceremony (version 1)"
Recorded at Eastern Artists Recordings in East Orange, New Jersey during the US visit the previous September, New Order's first single might, in an alternative universe, have been Joy Division's next. The 12″ single, originally released in March 1981 (the 7″ having been released in January) including the original version of "Ceremony," will feature remastered audio on heavyweight vinyl.

Side 1:
"Ceremony (version 1)"
Side 2:
"In A Lonely Place"

"Ceremony (version 2)"
The alternative, re-recorded version of "Ceremony" now also featuring Gillian Gilbert in the band was released later in 1981 and will feature the later alternative 'cream' sleeve rather than the original green and copper. This 12″ will feature remastered audio on heavyweight vinyl.

Side 1:
"Ceremony (version 2)"
Side 2:
"In A Lonely Place"

"Everything's Gone Green"
Originally released on Factory Benelux in December 1981, this 12″ featured "Everything's Gone Green," which had previously been on the reverse of the band's second 7″ single "Procession" in September 1981, and "Cries And Whispers" and "Mesh" whose titles were flipped on the cover causing confusion amongst fans and compilers ever since. This 12″ will feature remastered audio on heavyweight vinyl.

Side 1:
"Everything's Gone Green"
Side 2:
"Cries And Whispers"
"Mesh"

"Temptation"
Featuring the full versions of both tracks this 12″ was first release in May 1982 and were the first self-produced released recordings. With "Temptation" being a cast iron New Order classic, this is an essential part of any New Order collection. This 12″ will feature remastered audio on heavyweight vinyl.

"Temptation"
Side 2:
"Hurt"
