Rhino To Release Re-mastered, Re-issues of New Order’s five seminal ‘80s albums - 11th November
 
RHINO REISSUES A DECADE OF NEW ORDER

Double-Disc Collector's Editions of Movement, Power, Corruption & Lies,
Low-Life, Brotherhood and Technique Feature Original Factory Records
Releases Remastered and Expanded with Non-Album Singles, B-Sides and
Remixes

Each Available from Rhino November 11

LOS ANGELES -- After forming in 1980, New Order went on to develop a
groundbreaking sound that mixed synthesizer-driven pop with electronic
dance beats on a series of acclaimed and influential albums. The band --
Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert --
released a total of five albums during the '80s that helped blaze a
trail for the alternative music movement that would peak a decade later.
Rhino pays tribute to these musical pioneers with Collector's Editions
of the band's first five albums: MOVEMENT, POWER, CORRUPTION & LIES,
LOW-LIFE, BROTHERHOOD and TECHNIQUE. On November 11, all five will be
available at all retail outlets, including www.rhino.com, for a list
price of $24.98.

Each will be reissued as a double-disc that contains a remastered
version of the original Factory Records recording on the first disc,
along with a bonus disc that collects the band's numerous non-album
singles, b-sides and remixes.

After the tragic death of Joy Division singer Ian Curtis, the band's
surviving members, Sumner, Hook and Morris, founded New Order with
Gilbert and released its darkly melodic debut, MOVEMENT (1981). The
album's eight songs show the band moving away from the past and
embracing a new sound on "Truth," "Denial" and the opening track,
"Dreams Never End." Among the bonus disc highlights is "Ceremony," a
song written by Joy Division but never recorded in the studio that New
Order recorded as its first single.
Also included are later singles ("Temptation" and "Everything's Gone
Green") that foreshadow the band's more dance-oriented direction.

New Order found its voice on the group's sophomore effort, POWER,
CORRUPTION & LIES (1983). Featuring the original eight songs on the
British release, the first disc offers exceptional dance-pop with "Your
Silent Face" and "Age Of Consent." The bonus disc includes "Blue Monday"
and its b-side "The Beach," which were released exclusively as a single
in the U.K., but included on the U.S. version of Power, Corruption &
Lies. The single became the best-selling, independently released 12"
single of all time in the U.K.

The group achieved a high-water mark with its third release LOW-LIFE
(1985), an eight-song album that perfected New Order's cutting-edge
electronic sound with the singles "The Perfect Kiss" and "Sub-Culture."
The bonus disc contains songs the band contributed to the popular film
Pretty In Pink, including "Shellshock" (from the soundtrack) as well as
an instrumental version of the album track "Elegia" that was heard in
the film, but not on the soundtrack.

The band returned a year later with BROTHERHOOD (1986), an album
highlighted by the brilliant single "Bizarre Love Triangle" along with
the fan favorite "Weirdo" and the ballad "All Day Long." The bonus disc
offers the 12" single versions of "Touched By The Hand Of God" and
"Bizarre Love Triangle" as well as two remixes of "True Faith"; its
b-side "1963"; and a new version of "Blue Monday" released in 1988.

New Order closed the decade with TECHNIQUE (1989), a nine-song album
influenced by the exploding popularity of the acid house scene in Great
Britain. Debuting at #1 in the U.K., the album delivered the singles
"Run,"
"Fine Time" and "Round & Round" as well as "Vanishing Point," a song
later used as the theme for a popular British television show. The bonus
disc features the 12" single "World In Motion," the official song of the
English national football team in 1990's World Cup competition. Also
featured is "Fine Line," an instrumental version of the album track
"Fine Time," as well as b-sides "Best & Marsh" and "MTO."

Shelved projects
 
Sometimes the forthcoming releases get put on the back burner. As we're an optomistic lot, we keep the information for the day they get brought back to the fore:  
     
During 2007, when the release of the Control movie sparked a raft of reissues there was talk of a number of releases. Most of these were probably the original ideas for what was eventually released on CD and vinyl that year.

The following releases were mooted but apopear to have fallen by the wayside:

Substance DVD
Here Are the Young Men DVD
Joy Division live at Plan K DVD - Hooky appeared to hint at this in an interview although he was probably referring to inclusion of clips in the Grant Gee documentary. See http://www.neworderonline.com/News/News.aspx?NewsID=1231



All The Time: the "other" Ian Curtis Movie:
In May 2007 Amy Hobby confirmed to us that Hobby Films, who once held the film option for Touching From A Distance, have developed an all new script called All The Time written by Tom Browne. Jamie Thraves is directing. Amy is producing with Neal Weisman.
