New Order was supposed to hit the road with fellow alternative dance-pop pioneers Pet Shop Boys this year. We know how that turned out. Instead, we’re getting something from the band: a box set of perhaps their greatest album: Power, Corruption & Lies.
Titled Power, Corruption & Lies: Definitive Edition, the collection will include the first remasters of the 1983 album from the original analog tapes, unreleased recordings from writing sessions. There will also be a few DVDs of live performances.

The contains previously unreleased writing sessions from New Order’sManchesterrehearsal rooms and the 1982 John Peel Session for the BBC. The DVDs capture New Order live during 1982 & 83 at The Hacienda and Kilkenny, the 1984 Play at Home Channel 4 TV documentary and other rare live & TV performances. Finally a beautiful 48 page hardback book of rare photos and brand new essay from Dave Simpson completes the Peter Saville designed box.
There’s also an option for collectors to get an edition with 12-inch singles of “Blue Monday,” “Confusion,” “Thieves Like Us,” and “Murder,” all of which weren’t on the original album.
The set will be released on Oct. 2. You can preorder it here.
