Well, judging by the j/d tracks on the 24 hour party people
soundtrack, the remastered tracks sound reasonably good.
i think one vital thing though is that if the albums ever were
remastered, all the sleeve artwork and booklets should remain exactly
the same...because thats part of what made joy division (and new
order) albums so good, the wonderful minimalism of Peter Saville's
designs.
