New Order have announced a “definitive” box set of their 1986 album, Brotherhood , out November 22nd via Warner Music. What’s more, they’re separately reissuing the 12-inch singles for “Bizarre Love Triangle,” “State of the Nation,” and “Touched by the Hand of God.”
The Brotherhood collection features nine unreleased songs and demos from a 1985 recording session in Japan alongside remixes and their contributions to the soundtrack of Beth B’s film Salvation . Among these tracks are the full-length version of “Every Little Counts” and instrumental versions of “All Day Long” and “Broken Promise.”
Also included are DVDs containing live performances at Brixton Academy, G-Mex Manchester, and Glastonbury, as well as TV shows from the UK and Europe — all of which are coming to DVD for the first time. Pre-orders for Brotherhood Definitive Edition and the 12-inch reissues are ongoing.
Just in case that wasn’t enough New Order content, Season 2 of the New Order/Joy Division podcast Transmissions: The Definitive Story premieres today, picking up with the story of New Order after releasing “Blue Monday.” This installment will feature interviews with band members Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris, Gillian Gilbert, and Peter Hook alongside guest appearances from Johnny Marr, Billy Corgan, Christine and the Queens, Warpaint’s Stella Mozgawa, The Chemical Brothers’ Tom Rowlands, and more. Check out the first episode below.
