Search and Destroy : New Order

Sweet.

Thanks SO MUCH for cleaning up "Twenty Four Hours". I used to rewind my 'Still' cassette and listen to it over and over. To finally have a good digital copy is very exciting!!

I just found a big cache of New Order stuff at the community station I volunteer at.
A few 12"s and Passion Corruption Lies and uh another lp. All early stuff.
Digging it.

Okay.... So in the normal album version of "586" .. I downloaded this song 3 times, and every time there's these skips in the song...

"I see Danger- Danger- Danger!"
"I heard you- heard you- heard you- heard you calling"

Was this really intentional? Seriously? It sounds like a mistake... Before today I had only heard the Peel Sessions version which is one of my very favorite New Order songs.

Yup, intentional. I think it sounds great!

I bet after a few listens I'll get used to it.. It's still amazing.

hahaha blessim.

If anyone is interested, I just posted some photos sent in by readers who've been collecting and assembling the singles.

Search: the 7" with 'In a Lonely Place' & 'Ceremony,' Movement, power Corruption & Lies, mostly.
Destroy: Blue Monday [put it back together & destroy it again, then burn it]. It marks the spot [more or less] when new wave shifted into commercial disco overdrive.

that box set is incredible

Search: Blue Monday 88 Dub; True Dub; Thieves Like Us Instrumental
Been attempting to compile 90 min cassette of NO faves (for the car) from 50 LB Note's bloggies ... not easy!

Woe, no Atmosphere...

Still, A few nice mixes

After a long break, Atmosphere (1988) is finally up. This one's special, folks!

:D

Sweet!

sound quality on the dutch show is great. where is the full concert hosted? any links online?

that one is pretty special, thanks 50 Pound Note!

Sincere thanks, 50 Pound Note. If only they took as much care with their catalog as you do...

So the guys behind this are doing The Smiths next:

Can't wait for The Smiths stuff! The New Order stuff was brilliant.

Holy crap. Has anyone compiled all that into a torrent or would any of you be up for a mail trade/B&P?

can't wait for the smiths one to get me through the autumn/winter

um,

I suspect the Smiths' people may be a little more uptight than the Factory/NewOrder/JDiv people.....

Is it just me or is the guitar on one of the versions of "Ceremony" horribly out of tune?

Also, haven't a MUCH higher proportion of the Smiths mixes and b-sides been in print at various times over the last thirty years than the NO ones?

Yeah The Smiths singles and albums have been reissued on a fairly constant basis and there's not much difference between the versions on the singles and those on the albums.
There was a new singles box set in fact (in a most apalling sleeve) last year. Also unlike with New Order there are no comissioned remixes at all aside from the infamous Kervorkian mix of This Charming Man. One mix that hasn't come out on CD though is the weird alt version of How Soon Is Now which came out on an Italian 12". Looking forward to what 50 pound note does with it all anyway! That NO stuff was worth it for the artwork alone.

Official remix of Faith by George Michael.

D'oh! That wasn't meant to go there.

We're counting on trouble from the Smiths camp, so all the singles will be posted at the same time.

The alternate mix of How Soon Is Now is included. Errors in the CD box set like Rubber Ring segueing into Asleep have been fixed (Rubber Ring also has the original lyrics which were changed on later pressings).

Bonus material is included. Full artwork will be included.

Noted, noted...

nice. thanks 50 Pound Note!

Looking good! A.. *different* version of Rubber Ring?!

"Well you're older now
So let's have some wine
We're the only ones you've stood by wiiiiith..."

(Rubber Ring also has the original lyrics which were changed on later pressings).

I didn't know about this! What's the story? (Can't find it via google)

How's The Smiths thing coming on 50 Pound Note?

Update from yesterday:

http://smithsrecycle.blogspot.com/2010/10/updatey-ness.html

Looking forward to this.

From the New Order & Joy Division Recycle blog:

How's life? Mine is busy. In two weeks I head off to New Zealand and Australia for some DJ gigs, followed by one in Los Angeles over Thanksgiving weekend.

I just wanted to poke my head out and remind you that we're far from finished here. After the holidays I'm going to keep my schedule wide open until Coachella. I plan on working normal 40-hour weeks and spending my evenings and weekends at home, so I can finally focus on some fun projects like this blog.

There's still a lot to come: expanded listening bundles for each of the five Factory albums, Substance live, some previously uncirculated soundboard recordings, and sometime down the road there'll be Recycle part 3 covering the London years.

In the meantime, you might want to keep an eye on Extra Track for a makeover of The Smiths' complete singles, from the same production crew that's been at work here. They'll start going up sometime in the next 48 hours...

Can I suggest a new thread for those of us who love New Order but have little to no interest in The Smiths?

seconded.

No don't.

The reason being: It was one thing when the New Order singles were up, thee tracks were mostly unavailable apart from the originals.

As soon as WBros get the inkling, they'll be injuncted like immediately.

As this is a 'fan' thing, (also), having a dedicated "Hey look, Sm*ths downloads everybody" thread might over publicise it.

Then start discussing it on a Smiths thread. An old thread. A new thread. I don't care. I just don't want my New Order bookmark to pop up every time somebody wants to talk about the Smiths.

Well, that was Ned only.

Nate's post was interesting, I didn't know they were doing more...

Also, I noticed Peter Hook is doing all sorts of 'boutique' formats of his book (granite flooring casing, signed, etc) for bigbux.

The paperpack version is just out for a tenner or so.

The normal hardback is in fopp for £3

Well, that was Ned only.

Well, Nate posted the initial link to it on here, I just chimed in with a response to piscesx's question, so. Besides which, we do now have some new NO Recycle info as listed so hey! We can talk about that.

I posted it here mainly for the JD & NO info, I wouldn't have bothered if it was just about the Smiths.

is this sourced from the recycle stuff?

http://www.rhino.co.uk/store/products,-plus-minus-deluxe_39547.htm

All tracks have been newly re-mastered from original tapes by Stephen Morris and Frank Arkwright (Metropolis Studios)

hmm i guess not

goddamn, is that going to be available in the US or will it have to be ordered from the UK? I want a mini Earcom!

it's not on the Rhino US site so I went ahead and secured one of 500 ltd boxes. better safe than sorry.
