Description
I do not sell copies or bootleg material.
In excellent condition. LP has the odd very minor mark and hairline but plays perfectly. Outer sleeve has only very minor edge wear. No ring -wear and only minor spindle wear. Printed inner card sleeve is also excellent and clean. A nice collection.
I send by tracked delivery and use reinforced cardboard boxes. I pack the disc separately from the outer sleeve to avoid damage and include a plastic sleeve for storage.
Review:
'Brotherhood', released in 1986, is the fourth album from New Order, sandwiched between the darker 'Low Life' (1985) and the more pop sounding 'Technique' (1989). Supposedly the album came out so quickly after Low Life because the Hacienda nightclub (owned by Factory Records) desperately needed a cash injection, but in no way does this album feel rushed or 'stop gap'. At the time critics said Brotherhood was a concept album with the first half of the album featuring more of a rock sound than the second half's slide into dance. I don't make that distinction. All ten songs are very melodic with great vocals and a mix of acoustic guitar, Peter Hook's instantly recognisable bass, and trademark synthesiser.
Brotherhood includes the band's break-out single in the USA and Australia, "Bizarre Love Triangle" which has rightly become one of their anthems. One reviewer at the time stated: "This was New Order becoming New Order ". I have to agree.
I bought this CD as a 'companion piece' to Technique but quickly realised that Brotherhood is actually a better album, with consistently great songs, strong vocals, and beautiful and creative guitar elements.
Also, it showed a maturity in lyrics that was not seen on previous New Order albums. The song 'All Day Long' deals with child abuse. Bernard Sumner sings with passion and showed an emotional side to the band, perhaps for the first time. I am so glad I finally bought Brotherhood on Vinyl. It is a real pleasure listening to it. I had forgotten just how good it really is.
