If you go here and put your name and address in you get a lovely folder a couple of days later to keep the 7" singles in:

Packaging is quite nice, vinyl is fairly sturdy by modern day standards, the remixes are better than you would expect, they're not long drawn out and are very faithful to the originals.

In general, well worth £2.97, though I do question how much cash New Order need as there is a DVD and yet another Best Of CD out next week.

sparky, is there any way you could get a slipcase / folder for me? i have ordered the 7"s from hmv but i am out of luck on the slipcase since i live in the u.s. i am more than happy to compensate you for your time and effort. please send me a pm if you can help me out.

it seems that the uk site is showing that the special sleeves have all gone now, however a quick check on ebay show that you can buy the slipcases for about £5, or the slipcase and the 3 7" singles for about £10. slightly inflated prices, but if you really want one...

Did anyone buy either of the two new New Order DVD's that came out this week? Will my life be culturally poorer without owning them?

It's a bit sad that they've released a new greatest hits after each of their last three albums ('Best of', 'International' and 'Singles') but I suppose they've earned the right to cash in a bit.
