“Get Ready was a honeymoon record. Looking back now it was very enjoyable to make, and I think is massively underrated. It did sort the wheat from the chaff and led to a New Order mk2 which played better but had lost a naivety whilst gaining a maturity. Barney and I became a ‘power couple’ in Manchester during the making of the record but, sadly, the old problems recurred when we came to play live. The writing was on the wall from then on. The two of us worked very hard to make this a great record and I think we succeeded. I am looking forward to playing all the tracks, many of which have never been played live before. The Light will shine through … Get Ready!” Peter Hook

Originally released in 2001, the album Get Ready reached the impressive #2 position on the US Billboard Electronic album chart and came in at #6 in the UK. It was New Order's seventh studio album and was dedicated to Rob Gretton, the legendary manager of both Joy Division and New Order, who sadly passed away in 1999. The album marked an important step in the band's musical evolution, with a mix of electronic influences and rock. The single ‘Crystal’ became one of their biggest hits and received rave reviews.
