About New Order
New Order is comprised of Bernard Sumner (guitar, vocals), Stephen Morris (drums), Peter Hooks (bass) and Gillian Gilbert (keyboards), Manchester, U.K.-based band New Order was formed in 1980 by the remaining members of  Joy Division after lead singer
Ian Curtis' suicide. They went on to develop a groundbreaking sound mixing synthesizer-driven pop, electronic dance beats and alt-rock, releasing five influential albums during
the '80s that changed the course of alternative music.

About Power, Corruption and Lies
“Few rock bands have had as daunting a past to live up to, and overcome, as New Order. But Power, Corruption & Lies is a remarkable declaration of independence.”
Steve Pond, Rolling Stone Magazine, 1983

Originally released in 1983, POWER, CORRUPTION & LIES was the second album from New Order, and the one on which they found their voice. The band leapt out of Joy Division's shadow and established their own indelible identity with electronic dance-pop stunners including “Your Silent Face” and “Age Of Consent.”

Disc One of Rhino's new 2-CD COLLECTOR'S EDITION features the newly remastered U.K. version of the original album which, unlike its U.S. counterpart, didn't include the breakthrough track “Blue Monday.” Released only as a single in the U.K., that song went on to become the U.K.'s best-selling independently released 12” single ever. It's featured as one of the eight cuts on bonus Disc Two, which compiles a choice selection of vintage rarities also including “The Beach” - the B-side for “Blue Monday” - and the Arthur Baker-produced dance classic “Confusion,” both in original and alternate versions.
