The examination of the story of JD/NO is approaching Beatles-esque levels of saturation, how much more context/interest can you extract from a bunch of truculent musicians? Most of whom have already written books already.

So I bought the Power Corruption and Lies box set and it comes with this goofy documentary from 1984 where Tony Wilson is naked in his bath pontificating with a clothed Gillian Gilbert also soaking in the tub. A couple times you get a glimpse of Little Tony, so there’s that off my bucket list.

Who are the women in the gym talking with Gillian?
― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 4 December 2020 14:41 (three years ago) link
I think the woman with short cropped hair talking with Gillian is Liz Naylor, editor of City Fun zine.

Ah, OK, so maybe the woman with the spiky hair is Cath Carroll then, seeing as she was both a member of the City Fun team and an artist on the Factory roster.

It's been eons since I just put on "Substance." I've grown so inured to nu-New Order that I'd totally forgotten what a pleasure their innocently rinky-dink early years really are.

BTW there is an Easter egg on DVD 2 of the PCL box set. If you watch to the end of the 1983 Hacienda gig immediately after the entirety of “Video 586” plays with the original primitive computer graphics.

She's an actress who is usually generally pretty good in anything she's in but she really lays it on thick in this series and comes close to ruining it
I think her first big part was in Dinnerladies:

To be fair, some of it is out of her control because the script she's reading is over the top:"Two of the most influential bands. In. Music. History."
I wonder how much the band members had to do with that -- steering the project towards an exercise in myth building (like that Queen biopic from 2018)

The narrator of NewOrderStory was hilariously, consciously over the top, iirc. That was (looks it up) stage actress Jenny Seagrove.

Don't listen to Chris Coco or Mary Anne Hobbes if Maxine Peake bothers you. They're both much worse imo.

Reading Morris' latest book, thought this was kinda interesting:
“The legend that Factory lost money on every copy of ‘Blue Monday’ is a great myth, but sadly not true. Myths rarely are. If Factory actually lost 5p on every copy sold, as the story goes, they would have gone bust in a matter of months. Nobody is that daft, not even me. (Apparently, by the end of 31 May 1983 Blue Monday had sold 230,340 copies and had made £ 113,477.78 fact fans! It took a long time to discover that.)”
― Maresn3st, Monday, 18 January 2021 21:18 (three years ago) link
I never believed that such a huge global hit as Blue Monday lost money, Factory probably could have put it out in a gold leaf cover and still broke even in the short term. I bet Tony Tone was always telling his roster of bands they were making fuck all money.
― calzino, Monday, 18 January 2021 22:01 (three years ago) link
He was always telling New Order they were the only ones making money but they needed to give it back to him to flush down another toilet elsewhere, iirc.

The YouTube description of that Procession says it's "a new edit of archive footage of New Order, recut and synced to their song Procession". I think it's fan made, not an official clip.

One of his last auctions had a bass amp, the same as the one in my garage.
Allowing for the "yeah, but that one was owned by Peter Hook", the opening bid price was surprisingly high.
