Search and Destroy : New Order

I had no idea they were doing a tour with the Pet Shop Boys.

You missed out. (And there were various thread revivals!)

*looks at search/destroy post*

Stephen? Stephen Hague? Glad to have you with us.

I had no idea they were doing a tour with the Pet Shop Boys.

lol and this was something like a twice delayed tour, too, so it's been known they were touring together since early 2020!

And it's a wrap now.

Low-Life box set confirmed:

"new interviews with every band member" hmmm

I'm shellshocked.

.

I like Low-Life and always have; it was the first full-length I bought by them after hearing Substance, but I have the 2CD deluxe edition from...2005? 2007? And anyway, no one needs that much live New Order.

there's always room for more live New Order!

The shows they've said are included are some of New Order's best recorded performances. Leuven and Toronto 85 have been on my wish list for a long time. I've seen Leuven on YouTube a handful of times but the full Toronto show has never been released.

I yearn for a New Order \ Mike and the Mechanics reunion

all we need is a miracle

I first saw them on the Low-Life tour and they were at their peak.

Same. Still one of the two or three best shows I've ever seen.

how on god's earth do you release a "definitive" version of low-life without the extended version of "the perfect kiss"?

what do I get out of this

pretty brutal isn't it. can't justify this for the DVDs. hope those show up on s0uls3333k

The full-length extended version is on the 2008 2CD deluxe edition of Low-Life (the one on Substance is missing ~40 seconds). Why they can't include a second disc of bonus tracks (especially for $150) I don't know. I'm getting it for the live stuff though. And I guess because I have the first two and they will all look nice on my shelf.

Barely though. The final few minutes of The Perfect Kiss 12" were what all of music up until 1985 was leading to (sez me) and CD/digital versions of Substance butcher it.

^ as f. hazel says (just wanted to reiterate it because it annoys me)

The "bundle" included The Perfect Kiss 12".

Substance 1987 getting a 4CD deluxe reissue in November.

The 2023 reissue sees the audio remastered and expanded to four CDs. This 4CD version includes the original 2CD set and adds two further discs. CD3 expands the collection with alternate versions and extra B-sides, while CD4 features an unreleased concert, Live from Irvine Meadows, California, 12th September 1987, where the band uniquely played the entire album in sequence!

There will also be 2LP and double cassette editions of this reissue with the former available as black or blue/red coloured vinyl. The tape is only available from the New Order shop. There will also be three 12-inch singles released at the same time: ‘True Faith’, ‘True Faith Remix’ and ‘Blue Monday 88’.

Substance 1987 is reissued on 10 November 2023 via Warner Music
