Power, Corruption & Lies

Released 1983Punk & New Wave
Classic

The leap from post-punk grief into electronic dance-rock, melodic and forward-looking. The foundation of their sound. Hugely influential. Released in 1983, 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.
