Following their Movement box set last year, New Order have unveiled Power Corruption & Lies – 2020 Definitive Edition, compiling all the material related to their groundbreaking 1983 album.
The 1xLP/2xCD/2xDVD set includes the original album remastered and pressed on 180g vinyl; a CD of previously unreleased ‘writing session’ recordings plus the 1982 John Peel session; two DVDs of live recordings, TV appearances and a Channel 4 documentary; plus a 48-page hardback book of rare photos and original text collated by Warren Jackson. The set comes in a limited edition box designed by Peter Saville.
The four 12” vinyl singles from 1983/1984 that didn’t appear on Power Corruption & Lies – “Blue Monday”, “Confusion”, “Thieves Like Us” and “Murder” – will be reissued separately.
Power Corruption & Lies – 2020 Definitive Edition will be released on October 2. Peruse the full tracklisting below:
