The set comprises two CDs, two DVDs and an LP. It’s the fourth in the series of limited edition definitive boxsets which includes Movement (2019), Power, Corruption and Lies (2020) and Low-Life (2023).
The box set will include the original album remastered on CD and 180g LP, plus an Extras CD with previously unreleased demos and rarities, as well as two DVDs featuring the band’s performances at Festival of the Tenth at the GMex, Manchester 1986 and Live in Brixton, 1987 in support of World AIDS Day. The DVDs will additionally include live TV performances, interviews and rare band footage. The extensive hardback book will include contemporary articles and liner notes by Irish radio DJ Dave Fanning.
The box set will be released alongside 3 x 12″ singles from the time: Bizarre Love Triangle, State of the Nation and Touched by the Hand of God – also remastered and on 180g black vinyl.
Also announced today is Season 2 of Transmissions: The Definitive Story of Joy Division & New Order, featuring brand new and exclusive interviews with band members Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris, Gillian Gilbert and Peter Hook and special guest contributors including: Johnny Marr, Christine And The Queens, and Peter Saville, among many others.
Narrated by BBC Radio’s Elizabeth Alker, Season 2 finds our unlikely heroes adjusting after the surprise global success of Blue Monday transforms New Order into stars. Quincy Jones is knocking down their door with offers of a US record deal, John Hughes is hunting them down for soundtrack work, New York’s hippest producers are lining up to get in the studio and huge US success beckons. But as New Order’s profile grows, so too do the demands and excesses and the band begin to realise just how far they’ve come, and to question how far the road might take them.
Episode one is available now and new episodes will be released weekly via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, Stitcher, and wherever you get your podcasts.
