Hi gang, I'm backfilling my New Order catalog and in particular want to replace my 80s studio LPs with CDs. On CD, I only have Substance, Greatest Hits, and a bunch of killer rarities from my friends on this board. Given that, what would you do?

Well, I'll be the voice of contrary. Buy Retro. Why? It's remastered. The New Order studio albums are more than likely going to be remastered in the next year or two - probably given that 2 CD "deluxe" treatment. I don't have this on any particulary autho

Since you already have the LP albums, I would get Retro. Replace the stuff you already have l[8]ter, you know? $53 for NewOrder albums up to [i]Technique[/i] sounds waaaaay steep too. I could probably get most of their domestic catalogue up to date for th

Yes, this was easily one of their greatest songs. The haunting imagery of a soldier returning home from service will never leave me. One question that will always persist: did the protagonist of this piece come home as a ghost, killed in combat, or did he

Buy all the original albums...then you can do what I did
I have all the albums recorded to one disc (mp3) so I have access to all the goodness in my car (mp3 deck [:D] )
