Description

In June 2017, New Order returned to the stage at Manchesters Old Granada Studios where Joy Division made their television debut on Tony Wilsons So It Goes programme in 1978.

For the celebrated (No,12k,Lg,17Mif) New Order + Liam Gillick: So it goes .. shows, New Order deconstructed, rethought and rebuilt a wealth of material from throughout their career: familiar and obscure, old and new.

This special series of intimate shows took over Old Granada Studios Stage 1 for five nights in June 2017. Created in collaboration with visual artist Liam Gillick, who has previously presented solo exhibitions at venues such as Tate Britain and MoMA in New York; and orchestrated by composer-arranger Joe Duddell, a fellow son of Manchester and a frequent collaborator with the band, the live show was performed by the band with a 12-strong synthesiser ensemble from the Royal Northern College of Music.

Featuring tracks such as Disorder, from Joy Divisions Unknown Pleasures (and not played live for 30 years), up to 2015s Plastic from New Orders critically acclaimed Top 5 album Music Complete, this is the perfect document of those magical nights.

The album was recorded live on 13th July 2017 and includes the full show and encore plus three additional tracks recorded over the residency to give listeners a full representation of the breadth of material performed.

Released on coloured vinyl triple LP and digital download album.

Triple album pressed on transparent coloured vinyl (disc one is red transparent vinyl, disc 2 is light green and the third disc is blue) packaged in individual sleeves into a hardback slipcase, all with spot gloss finish, 24 page 12 sized booklet with silk finish containing exclusive imagery and text relating to the legendary event plus high definition digital download of all 18 tracks.
