NEW ORDER – Brotherhood (1986)

Original US First Pressing | Qwest Records (1-25511 / 9 25511-1) | Factory Sealed

Up for sale is a pristine, Factory Sealed 1986 US First Pressing of New Order’s landmark fourth studio album, Brotherhood.

Architects of the UK post-punk and synth-pop movement, New Order delivered one of their defining masterpieces with Brotherhood—famously split between their guitar-driven rock side (Side A) and full electronic synth-pop brilliance (Side B, featuring the legendary anthem "Bizarre Love Triangle").

💎 Why This Copy Belongs in a High-End Collection:

• True 1986 Original Pressing: Authentic first US issue on Qwest Records (Catalog # 1-25511 / 9 25511-1).

• Factory Sealed & Unplayed: Preserved in its original seal for 40 years, guaranteeing pristine, unplayed analog vinyl inside.

• Peter Saville Iconic Sleeve Artwork: Features Saville's celebrated industrial cover art design printed with a subtle metallic finish reproducing titanium zinc specs.

• Original Hype / Tracklist Sticker: The front cover retains its original factory-applied title and tracklist sticker clean and intact.

📐 Physical & Visual Condition Detail:

• Vinyl: Presumed MINT (M), untouched and unplayed since manufacture.
