The Best Of, and this time we really mean it.
Reported by heyrevolver
Because there aren't already enough New Order best-of and singles compilation CDs, the band have decided to release a new best-of boxed set and greatest hits singles compilation. For those of you with large appetites (and large wallets), there's Retro, a 4CD boxed set which will feature two discs of greatest hits, one disc of remixes and one disc of live tracks. For those of you that are more budget-conscious, there's International, your standard one disc career-spanning singles compilation. And for those of you who are like me and already own the 1995 Best of New Order (or the 1987 two-disc Substance compilation), you can just glance over the tracklisting (click "more") and wonder whether it's really worth dropping a bunch of money on yet another repackaging of hits.
