Search and Destroy : New Order

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.

Standard edition £49, deluxe £75.

Main difference (only diff?) deluxe includes a piece of artwork?

and two compact discs

oh right..

Got one. That's gonna be sold out in a second!

oops.

as long as people are talking . . . what the hell does WWWRL stand for?

In relation to what?

oh, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWRL

thanks. been wondering what that meant for a long long time

that question was my first post to NOOL way back in 2000 or 2001

Okay I love how seriously people are taking this:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Teen-Beat/95485599106

+/-, or Plus/Minus, is an American indietronic band formed in 2001.

feat. members of Versus...but +/- was already a part of the Factory/Joy DIvision iconography from the Atmosphere reissues around the time of Substance I think? I take it as a joke.

j0rdan has never heard new order outside of 'blue monday'

We all start somewhere.

Singer George Michael has recorded a version of New Order's hit True Faith to raise money for Comic Relief.

he'll release it unless we give money to Comic Relief?

George Michael > New Order

there I said it

I dreamt last night that a young Bernard started flirting with me when I admitted how much I loved his "True Faith" vocal.

xp it was a "Careless Whisper"
