'Low-Life' is next in the New Order reissue campaign this January

Rhino Records will issue a deluxe box set of New Order's 
1985 album Low-Life on Jan. 27. 

Its original singles, "The Perfect Kiss" and "Sub-Culture" reached #5 and #35 respectively on the U.S. dance charts. 

Non-album track, "Shellshock" - included on the successful "Pretty in Pink" soundtrack - went #14 dance. 

The box set comprises a 180-gram vinyl LP, two CDs, two DVDs and a book. CD2 has previously unreleased mixes, alternate versions, rough mixes and writing session recordings.

An unreleased performance from The Manhattan Club, Belgium and rarely seen footage from Rotterdam Arena (Netherlands), International Centre (Toronto, Canada) and a BBC filmed Whistle Test at The Hacienda, 1985 are on the DVDs.

The LP record comes in its original heavyweight tracing paper designed by Peter Saville. The CD will be wrapped in the same way for the first time ever.

A hardcover book includes rare photos and new interviews with the band. "The Perfect Kiss," "Sub-Culture" and "Shellshock" will be released on vinyl 12-inch singles as well.
