Low-Life
|
|
Low-Life was New Order's third studio album. Released in May, 1985, it showcased a more commercial side to the group's sound than heard on their previous albums. The album was preceded by the release of the full-length version of "The Perfect Kiss" as a single (only an edited version appears on the album). A John Robie remix of "Sub-Culture" was also released as a 12" single.
The songs on this album form the basis of New Order's live concert video, Pumped Full Of Drugs, filmed in Tokyo shortly before the album's release.
Low Life was the only New Order release to feature photographs of the band members on its sleeve. On the original Factory LP (and most other issues), drummer Stephen Morris appears on the front cover. The photographs were by Trevor Key.
