New Order: Low Life (1985)

Low Life is New Order's third LP, released in 1985. I remember when it came out very well. It was hugely popular with a bunch of friends. From Discogs:

The only sleeve with the band actually on the cover, designed again by Peter Saville. They were photographed individually by using a Polaroid film (the band never really believed those photos would end up on the cover). The sleeve itself was covered by an onion skin wrapper.

I still have the wrapper. The review on Allmusic suggests that New Order had reached their peak here. Sadly, that is possibly true. Elegia is the unsung hero of this record. It's an understated, but excellent track, that stands in some contrast to the more popular tunes. Although used in Pretty in Pink, it did not make it onto the soundtrack. You might also know this track from Stranger Things. If you have time, you should check out the full-length version of Elegia.
