This fac383v blog is great. I can't believe i've never seen that TECHNIQUE advert! Hats off, 50 Pound Note.

has it been explained how nobody in the band nixed test pressings that sounded wrong?
― the most sacred couple in Christendom (J0hn D.), Sunday, 14 March 2010 23:24 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm not quite sure what you mean about test pressings that sound wrong. Are you talking about the speed issues? Hannett very likely intended for the songs to be heard that way, but that's not exactly how the band would have sounded live, so the fellow doing the mastering is taking the opportunity to present options.

What do you think of pop music at the moment?BS: Oh God, I don’t know really. The strange thing is I don’t listen to that much music, because I’m playing it for 12 hours a day or talking about it for 12 hours a day, so it’s the last thing I want to do. Although, you know, I’ve obviously heard of Lady Gaga.Are you a fan?BS: Erm...(laughs) It’s catchy, let’s put it that way.

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.
― Trip Maker, Friday, 2 April 2010 03:59 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― billstevejim, Friday, 23 April 2010 05:25 (fourteen years ago) link
Yup, intentional. I think it sounds great!
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 23 April 2010 05:29 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

Can't wait for The Smiths stuff! The New Order stuff was brilliant.
― piscesx, Friday, 20 August 2010 03:01 (thirteen years ago) link
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
― reallysmoothmusic (Jamie_ATP), Friday, 20 August 2010 11:59 (thirteen years ago) link
um,
I suspect the Smiths' people may be a little more uptight than the Factory/NewOrder/JDiv people.....
― Mark G, Friday, 20 August 2010 12:47 (thirteen years ago) link
Is it just me or is the guitar on one of the versions of "Ceremony" horribly out of tune?
― Lazarus Niles-Burnham (res), Sunday, 22 August 2010 20:36 (thirteen years ago) link
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?
― Teddybears.SHTML (sic), Monday, 23 August 2010 09:29 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

― piscesx, Monday, 23 August 2010 11:43 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

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...
