We’ve given this one a proper 40th anniversary treatment. The artwork’s been revamped by the legendary Trevor Johnson and the record is pressed on stunning 80s glass vinyl, including brand new sleeve notes diving into the chaos and joy of our 1985 North American tour with New Order!

Happy birthday to our engine room, our funk machine gun, our man in tights! Yes, it was so cold in that rehearsal room in 1979 that Donald had his sister's tights on underneath his shorts. Happy birthday @dojo007.bsky.social! x
