Description
A firsthand account of the studio sessions for the fastest selling 12” single ever, ‘Blue Monday’, New Order’s classic dance track, and Power, Corruption and Lies, their acclaimed second album. Compiled from the journals of Michael Butterworth, the trusted friend of New Order who lived and worked with the band throughout the recording sessions. Three decades on, Butterworth breaks the silence to reveal exactly what went into the recording of this classic track, as well as Power, Corruption and Lies. Drawn from Butterworth’s meticulous journal entries, The Blue Monday Diaries provides a uniquely personal insight into the creative personalities of the band. And with the deluxe boxset reissue of New Order’s remastered 1983 album ‘Power, Corruption & Lies’ on CD and vinyl, as well as four 12-inch singles released on 2 October, ‘Blue Monday’ is set to make its first Official Chart Top 40 appearance in over 25 years.
