    Like many early New Order US pressings this one is translucent brown. Not sure if all of them are, but the one I bought in 84' is.

      Very clean pressing. Great soundstage, imaging, & detail.
      This is the band in their best days…

        when i hear "everythings gone green" i think of "don't leave me this way" the version by Harold Melvin (sung by Teddy Pendergrass) the bass seems to be hittin the same notes

          I would like to add 'something different' to the other posts on this release ,but they are (imo) all correct.. Only some of 'Power ,Corruption & lies ' really stands up in New Order releases after this & Ceremony . Quite recently Peter Hook remarked on the 'early New Order' releases as "when we were good" ....and seemingly free from Re-interpretation ,Bluster & Bulls**t- Who would know better than him ???
          .....I wasn't aware until seeing the comments that this was a 'US release' - there were so many Joy Division & New Order records in the UK at the time ( Atmosphere/'control 12", Still, various Temptation & Ceremony 7 & 12"s etc)..

            This is the best New Order (mini-)album.

            You get the brilliant Martin Hannet touch, and New Order's more loose, unstructured, odd songwriting style before they became more formulaic songwriters. Not that I don't like their later stuff, but there's just something really special and unique about this time period.

            The running order on the vinyl starts with E.G.G and ends with Hurt - this is WAAYY better then the cd running order which starts with Temptation and ends with Mesh. It may seem trivial but it makes a huge difference.

            This is one of the greatest releases of all time - of any genre.

              A neat little package, this. Intended as an introduction to the band for markets outside the UK, both the US and Canadian versions ended up being imported to Britain in large numbers and can be picked up for small change today. For your pittance you get the near-definitive history of New Order's early forays into electronica - notably, this collection was the first place most people heard the future classic "Temptation", though only in its chaotic 12" version (the 7" would have given a better idea of the progress New Order were making toward a new pop blueprint). It's cheap, and it's good. What more could you possibly want?
