New Order/Spain 1984 Complete Soundboard Edition

With their first performance in Japan in eight years approaching, NEW ORDER is suddenly getting hotter. The best soundboard album that revives the golden 1980s is here. This work contains the “Barcelona performance on July 7, 1984”. This is a stereo soundboard recording. At that time, they sent “POWER, CORRUPTION & LIES” to No. 4 on the UK charts and accelerated at once. First, let’s take a bird’s-eye view of their activities at that time and explore the position of this work. 1983 ・January 26th + 29th: UK #1 (2 performances) ・February 25th – April 26th: Europe #1 (15 performances) {May 2nd “POWER, CORRUPTION & LIES” released} ・May 9th + 10th: UK #2 (2 performances) ・June 17th – July 9th: North America (14 performances) ・July 20th / December 2nd: UK #3 (2 performances) 1984 ・March 19th – April 15th: Europe #2 (10 performances) ・May 14th – July 10th: Europe #3 (13 performances) ←★Here★ ・August 11th – 27th: Europe #4 (11 performances) This is the NEW ORDER of 1983 / 1984. Although the North American tour was also inserted, it was almost entirely in Europe and was carefully circuited many times. This work was recorded at the 12th performance of “Europe #3”, which was also the final one. This work, which conveys such a scene, is a completely official, superb soundboard. That’s because this show was the official recording that was also used in the box “RETRO”. Only one song, “Ceremony”, was used in “RETRO”, but this work is the complete version. Moreover, the origin is also special. In fact, tapes recorded from the mixing desk were discovered in the rehearsal studio used by Peter Hook at the time, and this recording is one of them. In other words, it was not broadcast, nor was it circulated among traders. It is a leaked soundboard filled with the sound of the on-site mix desk itself. In fact, the sound of this work tells the story of its origin. The space where the cheers are not heard at all and only the extremely thick performance sounds occupy is just like a studio work. On the other hand, the heat that can only be achieved by live performance is dazzling, and the panning that blows away with a grand stereo width is also brilliant. (If you listen carefully with headphones, you can hear a very faint whistling sound, which makes it sound like a live stage performance, but it feels more like a live studio work. What is depicted on this superb soundboard is a special set packed with early repertoire. Finally, let’s summarize the contents.
