If anyone has bought this, I'd love to see a picture of it - not a graphic of the cover art, but of the box itself, so I can get an idea of its shape/size/"heft", etc. :) TIA

It would be somewhat difficult to provide an image of the box itself, considering it will not be released until February! 😎

Possibly Bemusic 'Theme', which I used to think was 'Homage' - it's actually a Hooky instrumental even the Light ain't touched. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8pUgoeUQaw
It's actually been in the shops for a while now despite the 'official' release date of 17 Feb. I ordered the triple CD box set directly from Factory Benelux at the beginning of the month which arrived promptly and then picked up the double vinyl from Rough Trade East a week ago. They had a rack full of the vinyl and the CD box-set editions despite Amazon UK not offering them for dispatch yet.
It's just a very classy, well put together package and the booklet is fascinating reading if you're into New Order's production side; all members (including Hook) are represented in some way.
Highly recommended.

I'm a bit more interested in buying the album after reading that article.A good review though i'm not sure i agree that Paul Haig's, although brilliant, 1984 single The Only Truth is similar to The Perfect Kiss , or "is revealed through revisiting as a dry run for New Order's own “The Perfect Kiss”, issued the following year. " as the writer puts it.Great song but can't hear any similarity to TPK in it.But anyway, i might pick up the vinyl edition of this release.

Cheers, had this on order for a couple of months now, and get the occasional email from Amazon saying the release has been delayed (again) - if it doesn't get dispatched tomorrow I think I'll cancel and pick up a copy when I go shopping at the weekend.
I ordered the CD version from a local shop last week. I'm expecting it this week. They had the LP in the store -- albeit in the back room, but refused to show it to me because it was not Released yet! I was only curious to peek at it, tbh, I'd decided to go for the CD issue since the LP lacks half the tracks.
My copy finally turned up today (but it'll be another 8 or 9 hours until I can actually listen to it) - first thoughts: nice packaging, including a decent booklet with notes on all the tracks, most records these days have had bugger all effort made regarding packaging, sleeve notes etc.
Got mine today! Paid £17 which is less than I expected for the CD version from Beatdown Records in NCL. They have the LP in stock for £20. I wonder if they screwed up their pricing?
Anyone notice that Gillian is credited as Gillian Morris in the thanks section on the booklet. Has she been credited that way before?
2 days after payday & Amazon recommends... Neworder presents BeMusic.
£14.99 with free next day Prime delivery.
How could I refuse? :D
