New Order - Brotherhood (180g) (Limited Edition)

New Order's fourth album, released in September 1986. Recorded at Windmill Lane Studios and mixed at Liverpool's Amazon Studios. Another [a=Peter Saville (2)]/[a=Trevor Key] design, representing a bar of zinc and its serial number. The Christmas special editions were coated with titanium zinc. [a=Peter Hook]: "Listen to it and you can hear it has two different sides. There were battles raging on Brotherhood." [a=Bernard Sumner]: "We'd always had that balance of electronics and band stuff. I was always pushing for electronics, and Hooky was always pushing for the band stuff, which was fair enough, I think we needed the band stuff. And by luck it got tipped the band way on Brotherhood. It was a very dense album, because we'd gone a bit mad on overdubs, so it was very layered, and very dense." Peaked at #9 in the UK album charts. In 2008 the album was re-released as 2x CD Collector's Edition set, with the bonus disc containing non-album singles, 12" mixes and b-sides. Factory Australia's initial cd release was based on imported UK copies with "Factory Records Australia Import" stickers on front jewel case (as on image).
