New Order have announced the "Definitive Edition" box set of their third album, 1985's Low-Life, which will be out January 27 via Rhino. It includes the original album, remastered, on both vinyl and CD, and comes with a second CD of unreleased tracks, and two DVDs and a hardback book.
The bonus CD includes the original 17-minute version of instrumental "Elegia," as well as previously unreleased mixes and demos and a full-length version of "Sooner Than You Think." You can listen to the "Writing Session Recording" demo of single "The Perfect Kiss" below.
The first DVD is "Live in Tokyo, 1985" which was previously released on VHS in the '80s as "Pumped Full of Drugs"; the second DVD features a 1985 concert from The Rotterdam Arena, plus footage from International Centre (Toronto, Canada), a BBC session, and three tracks performed at the Hacienda in 1985.
The vinyl and CD copies of the album are housed in reproductions of the original tracing-paper sleeve they came in.
Additionally, New Order are reissuing three vinyl 12" singles from the era: "Subculture," "The Perfect Kiss," and "Shellshock" which was recorded for John Hughes film Pretty in Pink.
New Order recently wrapped up a tour with Pet Shop Boys.
