Search and Destroy : New Order

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:

+/-, 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"

I would've MAYBE liked that a TINY bit or found it at least a bit interesting if it didn't have all the autotune.

i'm no fan of new order, but this is pretty dreadful.

Christ, that's awful.

The limited edition Record Store Day 12" - 30th anniversary edition of Ceremony - has been posted to Recycle.

I've also posted hi-res scans of the LPs/EPs released '81 - '89 for those who want to tag the artwork in their digital libraries.

thanks for this!

Regarding the remastered CDs: How do I distinguish between the earlier remasters that had problems to the new reissues that came a year later with the supposed fixed issues? Did the first batch of cds get recalled or are they still out on the shelves?

shit, i've posted that information on ILM before but i can't remember now. the first batch is def. still on the shelves. i ended up buying the whole set from IdealCopy.com to ensure i got the right ones.

http://idealcopy.american-data.net/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=MU-NEWOR-5PACK-01

it was brought up here: New Order remasters from Japan?

the mis-pressings have the Deluxe Edition (or whatever it says) plastic slipcase and the extremely large white sticker on the front with the title and details, the newer ones have smaller stickers with the info and no slipcase.

I got the first four remasters used on amazon and uh.. they all sound good to me. No idea if they're from the recalled batch but I haven't heard any egregious audio artifacts; the discs are all loud maxxed out and stuff like all CDs now.

Aha none of mine have slipcases so there u go

Thanks Bee OK. That's exactly the info I was looking for

Perhaps the last interview. Here's hoping.

Hooky a) a massive cunt and b) otm in that interview
