Caution DO NOT BUY THIS DO NOT BUY the November 11, 2008 versions. These CD's have been in effect recalled for numerous sonic errors primarily on the second disks. Rhino has re-released them as of August 25, 2009. These are the corrected versions.
This is the BEST New Order, by along ways.
New Order never did, except for this album. Joy Division affected the way I play and hear music. .
Comentarios Brotherhood - New Order
Además de tener un disco clásico del grupo, viene un disco adicional con las antiguas versiones 12" que eran tan populares en los 80's. Para los fanáticos de New Order es un disco que no deben dejar de comprar.
Para los más nostálgicos, más de alguna lágrima se les caerá al recordar esa bella época con este disco.
Muy recomendable, pero es necesario comprar toda la colección por algunas "raresas" que existen en los discos 2 de cada albun.

good music, flawed remaster job
See "Paul slop"s review for the real scoop. Please note that almost all the reviews here are for the original cd - not the remastered 2 cd set. At least the first disc seemed to escape the clicks and other unwanted defects.
One star deducted for the poor remaster job.
Amazon says: "Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of this 1986 album . . . This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. " - No - this one is available.
Loaded with errors
However, there were far too many egregious mistakes made in the creation of the discs themselves to give them a pass. The MUSIC on these New Order reissues get a 5/5, easily. Only the first discs were re-mastered though they still have some problems, it is the bonus discs that are an absolute mess.
Warner Music/Rhino know about these problems, but there is yet no word on any forthcoming fixes. So I'd hold off until these issues are addressed.
Noted below are the specific problems with the Brotherhood reissue:
1, Paradise
2, weirdo
3, As it is when it was
4, Broken promise
5, Way of life
6, Bizarre love triangle
7, All day long
8, Angel dust
9, Every little counts
10, State of the nation
Brotherhood - bonus disc
1, Bizarre love triangle (shep pettibone remix)
2, 1963 - Clicks at 0:04, 0:25, 0:28, 0:30, 0:39, 0:46, 0:55, 1:14, 1:37, 1:56, 2:03, 2:07, 2:14, 2:42, 3:07, 3:29, 3:40, 3:54, 4:25, 4:32, 4:34, 4:40, 4:55, 5:00, 5:16, and 5:25. "Stutter" at 3:36. In addition, "the track has a lot of clipping"
3, True Faith (shep pettibone remix)
4, Touched by the hand of god - Dubious sound quality, clicks, pops and digital glitches at: 0:08, 0:13, 0:15, 0:23, 0:29, 0:39, 6:53, 6:58, and 7:00.
5, Blue Monday `88
6, Evil dust - "sounds like it was recorded directly from vinyl", "crackles or some sort of skip at the start"
7, True Dub - Not what it says: plays a 1994 Tall Paul "eschreamer dubbier" remix
8, beach buggy - Not what it says: plays Blue Monday 1988 (dub version)
