New Order fully emerged from the shadow of Joy Division with this early masterpiece. Their second album (1983) found the band rising up above their pain and loss and intoxicating with an irresistible, heartfelt, inspiring dance-rock sound that would prove to be as influential as it was infectious. "Power, Corruption & Lies" has been remastered from the original analog tapes for the first time for this new edition, and comes to you on both vinyl and CD. You’ll also hear previously unreleased Manchester writing sessions and their 1982 John Peel Session for the BBC. That means you’ll hear multiple versions of "Age of Consent," "The Village," "5 8 6," "Your Silent Face," "Ecstasy," "Leave Me Alone," Peel performances of "Turn the Heater On," "We All Stand," "Too Late," writing-session recordings of "Thieves Like Us," "Murder," "Blue Monday" and more. Most exciting of all, the DVDs bring you the 1984 Play at Home Channel 4 TV documentary and a bunch of rare TV/live performances plus shows at the Hacienda in Manchester (’82) and the Rosehill Hotel in Kilkenny (’83). From those shows: "Senses," "We All Stand," "Blue Monday," "Confusion," "Age of Consent," "Denial," "Ultraviolence" and more. A 48-page hardback book full of notes and rare photos and a limited-edition box design by Peter Saville top off this beautiful celebration of a New Order essential! Rhino/Warner Bros.
