Power Corruption and Lies [Definitive Edition]

New Order are releasing a definitive edition box set of Power Corruption & Lies, with the 1983 album remastered for the first time from the original analogue masters. It bundles unreleased writing sessions from their Manchester rooms, a 1982 Peel Session, live footage from The Hacienda and Kilkenny, and a 48-page book. Four related 12" singles—Blue Monday, Confusion, Thieves Like Us, and Murder—ship individually.

Why it matters: For completists, this is the first proper remaster from the original masters, paired with substantial unreleased studio material from the creative period.
