Ahhh well .. times change.I still would like to see again a photo of New Order i remember was in an old issue from 1984.Not seen it for years.They are all standing near a lake.Barney has that old greyish leather bomber jacket on and Hooky has a black biker's jacket and boots.Can't recall what Steve and Gilian had on.

Anybody got it that they can scan and post?

No, but I have heard of David and Goliath. Are they related?

Should we have a NOOL Bloopers forum?

they certainly did have a few editions featuring new order,even did one on gillian alone as i remember.

in fact it was in smash hits that a chance remark/picture of 2 girls on barneys hotel balcony swinging his undies around their heads that tipped his exmissus off that he was messing about. barney quiped in a later interview that hed like to get his hands on whoever it was that did the interview and published the pics ect cos of the grief it had caused him. lol

Looks like Steve had to borrow one of Gillian's shirts for his sticker picture.

Where's my email anyway? Just send me All Day Long, not interested in the other one.

I've already heard it!!

I was more surprised Plastic Bertrand had an album! Chris,get your hair cut:D

My memeory of that article was distorted, I remember the y-fronts picture was much bigger.

Quality article.

Missy Jem wrote: I've already heard it!!

That's cos you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar :D

Thank you Ronald.

taxi wrote: Thank you Ronald.

no worries. anytime.

Oh, those scans are great. They’re from number one? I’ve never heard of it.

if u had posted that a few weeks ago..... that cartoon Barney would be on the Angels badges (and I'd have a big bag of badges LOL)

Steve Campbell wrote: if u had posted that a few weeks ago..... that cartoon Barney would be on the Angels badges (and I'd have a big bag of badges LOL)

there's always next time.

btw i do have a few more articles from smash hits and number one.

Oh the badges, they look really good.

Thanks Ronald for posting the article:)

more smash hits obviously written by a fan.

Hey whatcha doing so early on a Saturday morning in Strassbourg???

Thank you, Ronald! That's amazing!!!! Love them.

Finally! Peter Hook admits that TF is not truly a NO-type song. I always thought so when I first heard it. It's more like the Pet Shop Boys. But now I can't really tell already, I got used to it.

that concludes tonight's visit to the Kirsch New Order archive. more to follow.

that looks like a unique australian smsh hits article. note the aussie chart positions.

A few things I'd not seen before. Wonderful, thanks Ronald and John.

no worries. perhaps i'll post more tomorrow.

If I had donated a bassline of such majesty and grace to a tune and some cunt of a producer mangled it and turned it as low as he coud...I'd hate the fookin thing too.
