Just been to HMV because I heard New Order CDs are in the sale at £4.99 and I need a couple that I have only on vinyl. I was shocked to see the state of the CD artwork on these rereleased non Factory CDs. London/Centredate or whoever has rereleased them has done it without any care or feeling for the original and classic designs by Peter Saville. The back of Brotherhood has had some legal whacked right in the middle of it completely upsetting the balance of the design, as has the back of PCL. Worst of all on Lowlife not only has it got the legals on someone has fucked up and the typeface for the tracklisting is missing and has defaulted (to courier) and looks wierd. I used to love the quality of New Order's packaging and in selling the back catalogue the buyers should have respected this quality and maintained it. Now I'll have to hunt down some second hand Factory originals. Rant over
