The only things i got out of it was the live of Everything's Gone Green from Tolworth 83.Hadn't heard that before.And the few bits and bobs on the 5th CD
yes but i didn't get the fifth disc, despite the sticker on the front proclaiming it was the ltd edition 5 disc set, bloody HMV, and i refuse to pay a fortune for it from ebay, other than that, it's not a bad collection of stuff i already had (apart from some live stuff)

I'm not sure if I did... sure thing is I have 3 copies, 1 UK, 2 US (one still sealed)
I think I bought the UK one off Amazon.
All 3 have the bonus CD.

you feel like selling one of the us ones,spot?
I bought Retro (5 disc) and Heart and Soul....ripped them to 320Kbps mp3, stuck them back in their boxes, wrapped them in plastic and stashed them. Why? COs all my original NO stuff from the 80's and 90's is fucked, ruined and wore out, so I wanted SOMETHING to show the grandkids (someone else's let's face it).
Yep I did! at employee discount whilst at Tower Records (damn do I miss that!!) It made a 64.99 set into a 43 dollar set (discount was 5% above store cost) I had not listened to NO in years and needed something to remind me
Yeah I bought it. Listened to all 5 discs back to back once and put it away. Never even bothered to rip it.

so you knicked it then???
No I didn't nick it. I just like my bargains 
I ended up getting three copies cos the dance CD was fcut on each one.
In fact, I think it was fcut on the 3rd one and I just thought 'fcuk it' and kept it anyways.
I bought it twice. Both times with the 5th CD. My 1st copy was stolen when scrotes got into my car.
I never ripped them to MP3, as someone kindly put together International2, which I preferred.

and the Dance cd is actually the only one worth listening too The other 4 are a waste of time.
Yeah, and at full price. Like most on here im stupid enough to part with my cash merely because its got those words "New" & "Order" on the front.
Got it when it came out - worth it for the live disc and the extra CD, and I was especially glad that the Australian "Paradise" remix finally turned up on CD 
Of course, it could have been a lot better, but they're probably saving all that for future remastered double CD editions that will inevitably turn up, once the Joy Division/Control stuff's been done & dusted...

Wishful thinking, Mr. king?

We're talking about Warners here who's only intention is to make a profit by selling the same stuff twice! :p
If I was a betting man (and every band is doing it nowadays), there will definitely be double-CD, remastered, reissues of New Order stuff with some "bonus" tracks of some description - be they remixes, compilation tracks, live tracks, or something...!
I bought it when it came out to make sure I got the extra disc. I really wanted it for the original versions of Confusion and Temptation. I listen to the first disc a lot, it's the best single disc best of out there.
