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 Low Life
“New Order has made the most of accessibility without compromising their past. It's a shame Ian Curtis did not live to see it.”
David Fricke, Rolling Stone Magazine, 1983

With their third album, 1985's LOW LIFE, New Order both kept their edge and courted the pop mainstream, to brilliant effect. Their first title to have a fully orchestrated U.S. release, the album delivered two Billboard dance music chart hits with the singles “Perfect Kiss” and “Subculture.” Disc One of Rhino's new 2-CD COLLECTOR'S EDITION features the newly remastered original eight-song album, while bonus Disc Two compiles seven diverse New Order gems.

Bonus disc highlights include two New Order contributions to the hit 1986 film Pretty In Pink: “Shellshock,” from the soundtrack, and an instrumental version of the LOW-LIFE cut “Elegia” that was heard in the film but not on the soundtrack. Also featured are “Let's Go” and the “Salvation! Theme” from the 1987 film Salvation!.
