11. Idiot Country Two (AKA Ultimatum Mix)
12. Gangster (FBI Mix)

I think, this is a very nice release, and who knows? Maybe they will do the same thing with raise the pressure!

Nothing unreleased and nothing that wasn't available on CD...

Ah well...

If you've got iTunes (UK) installed, you can see the release here.

Not a bad idea I suppose but again it's a missed opportunity to collect non-CD rarities like the seven inches of Lucky Bag and Idiot Country Two as well as the vinyl Feel Every Beat dubs. The 7" Edit of Free Will as well? If there's one track that deserves to be heard in its entirety....

It is good to see iTunes offering higher quality M4A DRM-free files these days. The original file quality (128) was always atrocious. I might download one or two tracks off the "second disc" to see if they've been given the remaster treatment; wouldn't put money on it though.

If they give Raise The Pressure the Special Edition treatment in the near future and include all the UTEOT mixes I'll be well impressed!

Cool beans. How many of these were available before? As far as I can remember only GAWI, GTM and the first album were available, Factory-era wise...

I take this back as iTunes don't seem to be offering the Special Edition Electronic album in iTunes Plus format

Usual shitty DRM-ridden low quality audio then, what a waste.

P.S. The second "disc" doesn't sound remastered from the Second To None I downloaded.

My advice is stick to the CDs and vinyl, boys and girls.

Well it seems like Electronic have decided to release a lot more that just the debut album:

Raise the pressure (with b-sides)
Vivid (with prodigal son remixes)
Getting away with it EP
Get the message EP
Feel every beat EP
For you EP
Second nature EP
& le grand surprise
Until the end of time EP

Very nice of them to do that...

where are all the bland "Getting Away With It" remixes?

In the Getting Away With It EP funnily enough...

nothing new

Despite the lack of unreleased stuff, Electronic fans who haven't had the chance to hear the 'Until The End Of Time' remixes from 1997 will definitely be interested in some of what iTunes has released today.

Click here if you have iTunes installed.

Unfortunately they are only available in the original low quality / DRM iTunes format and not the new iTunes Plus / non-DRM format but hey, it's only 2 quid for all four.

Hadn't spotted "Until the end of time" on there-something I never got first time round...

The FBI mix of Gansgter was available on CD?

(I didn't check the discography)... either I didn't buy the US single, but I do remember having the 12".

Listen to NewOrderOnline Radio and soon to New Order Community Radio.

were these the vinyl-only mixes that were released back then? I seem to recall there never was an official cd release of these for some reason.

Yup, there was a CD single... (I know, I've got one)!

Absolutely!

do you think the sound quality good enough on mp3 to justify buying this?

I think lossy mp3 formats should be avoided particularly if your main collection is in cd format.
