This compilation, originally released in 1994, collects the best of the legendary English band's singles and choice album cuts recorded since New Order formed out of the wreckage of Joy Division in 1980. Classic album tracks like "Love Vigilantes" and "Age of Consent" sit alongside smash singles like "True Faith" and a song from the soundtrack to the 1987 film SALVATION!, "Let's Go (Nothing For Me)." As an alternative to the thematically sequenced box set, RETRO, THE BEST OF NEW ORDER is an ideal starting point for initiates.
