Disco de New Order: “New Order Story”

I have just received this outstanding two-disc DVD set today, and it is indeed the New Order "Item" product and not "A Collection" as incorrectly listed here on Amazon's product page.

This two-disc "Item" DVD set includes both "A Collection" and "New Order Story."

To reiterate, I ordered ASIN/Amazon product number B000ANVNHQ as listed on this page and received the two-disc DVD set titled "Item."

Below are the contents of each DVD.

Disc 1, "A Collection" contains the following videos:

Confusion

The Perfect Kiss

Shellshock

State Of The Nation

Bizarre Love Triangle

True Faith

Touched By The Hand Of God

Blue Monday '88

Run

World In Motion

Regret

Ruined In A Day

World

Spooky

1963

Crystal

60 Miles An Hour

Here To Stay

Krafty

Jetstream

Waiting For The Siren's Call

Round & Round - USA/Patty

Regret - Baywatch

Crystal - Gina Birch Version

Ceremony

Temptation

Disc 2 contains the documentary "New Order Story."

This is a must-own set for New Order fans.

Repeat: this product is "Item" and not "A Collection."

For almost thirty years, the collective group known first as Joy Division and then New Order have made an impact on the world of pop music that is interesting and profound. Shunning the very trappings of fame that most bands would kill for, they have remained true to their own elusive muse.

The music videos they've made have always been stand-outs. From the early hectic nature of "Confusion" to the slickness of "Bizarre Love Triangle" and the explosive "True Faith" and the oddity of "World", the boys and girl of the band have never made a dull video. Sure, some aren't as great as others ("Shellshock" and "World In Motion" spring to mind), but the overall effect of having every NO music video ever made including the new ones from "Waiting For The Siren's Call" is more than worth the occasionally bad video.

And the additions of new videos for classic tracks like "Ceremony" and "Temptation" (as well the infamous "Regret" on the beach with the cast of Baywatch) is fantastic.

If that wasn't enough (and I'm assuming the reviews are for ITEM, the two-disc collection), you get the 1994 "NewOrderStory", which is by far one of the most interesting (if obtuse) "documentaries" ever committed to film. As weird and wonderful as the band themselves, it makes a perfect companion to the 2002 film "24 Hour Party People".

All in all, this is a must for any NO fan. The only grumbling point I would have is the non-inclusion of the few Joy Division live performances or the video for "Love Will Tear Us Apart", but the NO Story has two scenes from the band's early days with Ian Curtis as well as the video (which is interrupted by an annoying frontman from a certain band named after a US spy plane from the Sixties).

So if you love groundbreaking music videos and getting a look at one of the most enigmatic bands of the modern rock era, ITEM is for you. You can't go wrong with New Order.

great price for a great DVD collection

I admit I did not get into New Order until Blue Monday 88, but was glued to the group after that. This DVD is actuall the DVD called "Item". Not only do you get the video collection, you get the "New Order Story" DVD which is a two hour plus documentary on the group covering their origins as Joy Division and then moving as far as 1993. Rare interviews and insights abound, and is a must-have for any New Order fan. The other DVD is the Collection of videos, which includes twenty-two videos.

actually the original US release of new order story on VHS was only 60 minutes long. only the laserdisc US version was 140 minutes as well as the UK releases (i think). So for most US customers, there's a huge difference and will see a ton of bonus material.

this release makes me really happy!
