Red Door Interview 1984

I have uploaded mp3 files of this EP to Floyd Anderson's ftp server, and was looking for some more info about it.

This is a picture EP (12inch, 45rpm) produced by "Red Door", catalogue number RD-PD-20. On the A-side it says "New Order, Interview Disc, Limited Edition" (mine is number 2750). On the B-side is says "Interviewed 1984".

The pictures are of all four of the group, sitting on bean-bags(?) on the A-side and seated behind a table on the B-side. Above and below the photos are film "sprocket holes".

Mostly it is Bernard (I assume) being interviewed.

From the interview, it was done around the time PC&L was released, and there is discussion comparing the production of this and Movement. There is also a LOT of talk about the Stockholm Monsters and other projects. And Mark Johnson's book (described as an obsession).

Questions: How many copies were made- I bought this copy second-hand over 10 years ago. You will hear from the mp3 that it is definitely not mint.)

Who is doing the interview? (for the NME?)

What are the circumstances of the interview- sounds like it's before a concert?

Who is Mike Keane?

Sorry, can't help you with any of your queries but I also have a copy of this which i bought around '85. Haven't played it for 18 years but will dust it down again. Have no idea about value/rarity.

Hi Ian...

...nice work, so far... ...when I was in vacation in New Zealand in October 2003, I bought this kind of vinyl (no.1815) in a local record store in Dunedin; I never saw it, or heard about that before, but actually, it's a good one !...

Greetz, Floyd Anderson.

After a Google search, I can answer one of my questions, and correct my assumption.

Mike Keane was the man behind "The Royal Family and the Poor", which was "perhaps the most misunderstood band to record for Factory", according to a mini-bio by one James Nice. Their history includes several dates supporting New Order in early 1985.

See http://www.ltmpub.freeserve.co.uk/rfatpbio.html

The question about Mike Keane came up as he is mentioned in the interview as someone that the speaker is "doing an LP with", and who is "really good". The history above reveals that the album "Temple of the 13th Tribe", Fact95, was produced by Peter Hook. Which clears up who is being interviewed.

Still looking for the other answers!
