New Order – Power, Corruption & Lies (Vinyl LP, 1983, Factory US FACTUS 12, Die-Cut Sleeve)

Why This Record Matters
Power, Corruption & Lies is New Order’s second studio album and a defining 1983 release in the band’s transition toward an increasingly electronic synthesis of post-punk and dance music. Produced by New Order, the album features Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris, and Gillian Gilbert and includes “Age Of Consent,” “Your Silent Face,” “5-8-6,” and “Leave Me Alone.” Its integration of sequencers and synthesizers with guitar, bass, and acoustic drums established a musical direction that became central to New Order’s work throughout the 1980s.

Collector Note
This is the original 1983 U.S. Factory US FACTUS 12 LP, manufactured and marketed through Rough Trade and pressed by Record Technology Incorporated. The supplied matrices identify the RE-1 Automatt cuts, with AUTOMATT-PS in the Side A runout documenting Paul Stubblebine’s lacquer cut. This VG+/VG+ copy retains the confirmed original custom inner sleeve along with the distinctive die-cut outer jacket.
