Low-Life

New Order
Released 1985Electronic
ClassicPicked by a lifelong record collector

A peak of melancholic dance-rock, home to 'The Perfect Kiss'. Tuneful and beloved. A high point. Released in 1985, it's a key entry in New Order's run.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
