Retro

Retro is a 2002 box set of music by the English band New Order. It comprises four themed CDs. In the UK, initial quantities came with a fifth disc which featured rare tracks. The box set was released as a compromise. The band's manager, Rob Gretton, had originally envisioned a box set called Recycle, which would feature all the singles New Order had released, one single per CD, in a grand 20 CD box. However, London Records deemed this as too excessive, and the idea was shelved. New Order released Get Ready in 2001 and a year later Retro surfaced. The CDs each have a particular theme: Pop, Fan, Club and Live. Each one was selected by a friend of the band. All songs written by New Order, except where noted.
