Reviews

  • MidnightToSixMike's avatar
    The packaging on these Joy Division/New Order deluxe editions is amazing. However unfortunately the remastering is overblown and compressed. These are worth owning for the live material and packaging but seek out the original CD mastering if you want to hear the music as it was intended, dynamic and open.
