Okay! Seeing as my Missing Link-The Answer has also inexplicably died a stillborn death
I'll just have to reveal the answer to everybody here then.
The first three people to get the answer were- in order
Sophisticated (Lady)
Gary Ritman (no, he bears NO relation to me, despite having a similar email address)
Shug - though you may have said that after reading the answer elsewhere.
The correct Missing Link indeed was PRIMAL SCREAM
Primal Scream did a cover of Lemmy's old classic MOTORHEAD
on the Scream's album VANISHING POINT, which shares a title of a New Order track from Technique. BERNARD SUMNER guested on the last Primals album XTRMNTR, and then BOBBY GILLESPIE returned the favour on Get Ready.
Thus we get: MOTORHEAD - PRIMAL SCREAM (Bobby Gillespie) -
BERNARD SUMNER (New Order)
Okay? Satisfied? Can't believe the trouble that one caused.
So, Sophisticated Lady - You got the right answer first!

Whilst I'm on this thread, I will now reveal the QUESTION to this backwards teaser:
Question: What is the only Factory catalogue number ending in "3" that was NOT allocated to an official New Order single/album, and what inexplicable title was this given instead?
Answer: Fac 113 - ALEPH
Right! I hope that sorts that out once and for all. Now may I take this opportunity to make an announcement to declare that as from now I will not set ANY MORE trivia teasers or brain benders or any other quizzy thingies of the sort, simply because of the amount of hassle I've been getting from them....and anyway, Seb doesn't like them anymore. All this aggro is becoming too much for me to take!
So - No more teasers from me. :finger: EVER! That's it! FINITO! KAPUT!
If you want teasers, set your own - I'll have nothing more to do with them - I've got my spliffs
, you can keep your teasers...that way we'll all be happy. Does that sound reasonable?
Like they all say here in the 'Dam: "De tijd is nu!!"
-so let's move forward, and stop dwelling on the past!
Life must go on.... Tot ziens!!
