New Order was a Manchester based band which grew out of a previous incarnation Joy Division. This is the second album and proved to be the most popular to date, being ranked in 1989 as 94th of Rolling Stone magazine's top 100 albums of the decade.

The album has a famous Peter Saville sleeve design, featuring “A Basket of Roses” by Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904) from the National Gallery, London. (Unfortunately, there is some sticker damage to the sleeve).

From Wikipedia:  

"The art director Peter Saville intended to create a collision between the overly romantic and classic image which made a stark contrast to the typography based on the modular, colour-coded alphabet he created solely for the band. It is also said that the owner of the painting (The National Heritage Trust) first refused Factory Records access to it. Tony Wilson, the head of the label, then called them up to ask who actually owned the painting and were given the answer that the Trust belonged to the people of Britain, at some point. Wilson then famously replied "Well, the people of Britain now want it". The title of the album was chosen by Bernard Sumner from a 1981 conceptual art exhibition in Cologne, Germany. On the opening night of the exhibition the artist Gerhard Richter vandalized the exterior of the Kunsthalle by spray painting the text, "Power, Corruption, and Lies".^[
