New Order Forced To Recall Re-Release Of 1980s Back Catalogue

November 26, 2008
New Order Forced To Recall Re-Release Of 1980s Back CatalogueNew Order have been forced to recall the recent re-release of their entire 1980s back catalogue because of sound issues.

Fans in America have complained about poor audio quality of the accompanying bonus discs.

In a statement, New Order said: "Warner Bros UK, Rhino and New Order regret that the initial pressings of the collector editions of 'Movement', 'Power, Corruption And Lies', 'Low Life', 'Brotherhood' and 'Technique' contain some minor audio problems on the bonus discs.”

Each bonus disc comprises of extended versions, b-sides and remixes, as well as extensive sleevenotes and interviews with all four band members.

The band said that they were in the process of “correcting the problems” but warned “that due to the age and condition of some of the original source tapes, the sound quality may vary."

The back catalogue was released last month but fans only complained when it hit the shelves in America.

On his MySpace blog, bassist Peter Hook described the situation as “difficult” and said the group hadn't listened to the "finished product" before it was released.
