How Does It Feel? New Order Give 'Power, Corruption & Lies' The Box Set Treatment

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

One of New Order's most celebrated albums is getting expanded in October.

Rhino will issue a "Definitive Edition" of the band's sophomore release, 1983's Power, Corruption & Lies. The box will feature the album on CD and LP with the first-ever mastering from the original analog tapes; a bonus disc of unreleased session outtakes and the band's 1982 live set for John Peel's BBC radio program; and two DVDs offering three complete live shows, a host of additional concert clips and television appearances, and the band's tongue-in-cheek Channel 4 documentary Play At Home.

Following the formation of New Order from the ashes of post-punk outfit Joy Division (following frontman Ian Curtis' passing in 1980) and the release of debut album Movement in 1981 (itself expanded for a definitive box set last year), Power, Corruption & Lies marked a distinctive new direction for the band. Inspired by visits to American clubs and the founding of their label Factory Records' own nightspot, The Hacienda, the band (singer/guitarist Bernard Sumner, bassist Peter Hook, keyboardist Gillian Gilbert and drummer Stephen Morris) fully adopted electronic and dance styles on "Blue Monday," their first release of 1983.

With a pulsating four-on-the-floor beat and Sumner's distinctive low vocals, the track remains one of their best-known, reaching No. 9 on the U.K. singles chart and No. 5 on Billboard's dance surveys. (By several accounts, it is one of the best-selling 12" singles of all time.) Two more non-album singles from the period, "Confusion" and "Thieves Like Us," reached the U.K. Top 20; a Benelux-only single, "Murder," scraped the bottom of the country's chart. As for Power, Corruption & Lies, it's been hailed over time as one of the most notable dance-rock albums of its era, with retrospective placements on best-of-the-'80s album lists by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and Slant. It became the group's first of eight career Top 10 albums in England, and the album's Peter Saville-designed sleeve (utilizing a painting of roses by Henri Fantin-Latour) has appeared everywhere from Royal Mail stamps to fashion brand Supreme's 2013 collections.

The definitive Power, Corruption & Lies is due October 2; the same day, the band's four 1983-1984 12" singles will also be repressed. (As with the Movement deluxe campaign, those tracks - included on a 2008 reissue of the album - will not be available in the box set.) Pre-orders for all five products are below.

A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.
