Encyclopedia > Retro (New Order album)

Retro is a 2002 box set from the English band New Order, it comprises of four CDs. Initial quantities came with a fifth disc, featuring rare tracks. 2002 is a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ... Royal motto: Dieu et mon droit (French: God and my right) Englands location within the UK Official language English de facto Capital London de facto Largest city London Area  - Total Ranked 1st UK 130,395 km² Population  - Total (2001)  - Density Ranked 1st UK 49,138,831 377/km² Religion...

Image of a recordable compact disc (pencil included for scale) A compact disc (or CD) is an optical disc used to store digital data, originally developed for storing digital audio. ...


The box set was released as a compromise. The band's manager, Rob Gretton, had originally envisioned a boxset called Recycle which would feature all the singles New Order had released, one single per CD, in a grand 20 CD box.


Gretton's vision of Recycle would feature every recorded version of every New Order track as well as unreleased material, making it the holy grail for New Order fans. Sadly, London Records deemed this a little too excessive, the idea was shelved, New Order released Get Ready and a year later Retro surfaced. London Records was a record label headquartered in the United Kingdom marketing records in the United States and Latin America from 1947 through the 1980s. ... This article is about the 2001 New Order album. ...


The CDs each have a particular theme: 'Pop', 'Fan', 'Club' and 'Live'. Each one is selected by a friend of the band.


There were large numbers of complaints over the ommission of the track Love Vigilantes from the CD, which were met with suggestions that it was a hiddent track, which it is not. However, convincing people that it is has become a newbie initiation procedure on many New Order fansites. The slang term newbie (also spelled n00b, noob, newb, nubbikins, or nub in leetspeak) means a newcomer to a particular corner of cyberspace, such as a game, newsgroup, the World Wide Web itself, or an operating system. ...

Their support for the new club culture was evinced by their joint ownership of Manchester's Ha‡ienda club, which was opened in Whitworth Street in May 1982 and went on to become the most famous dance music venue in England.
New Order had now clearly established themselves, and throughout the 80s and into the 90s they remained the top independent band in the UK, staying loyal to Manchester's Factory Records.
In the summer of 1991, the band announced that they had reconvened for a new album, to be produced by Stephen Hague, which was eventually released in 1993.
