This is great news! What with Community and (possibly) the new album, I need to have a lie down. Hopefully, this has come about partly through the petition - more power to our elbow!

Well, this is exactly the CD asked by the petition... (except I forgot Isolation on it)...
So it must mean something! They could have released 2 seperate CDs and make more money!

It's come about just after I have forked out on ACR and NO stuff on Ebay - great timing!
Does it not seem strange that only a few weeks before release that no other site has this disc for sale. Not even Amazon!

Cheers Spot thats where I will be ordering from then ! 
I think I will take a miss on this one, the tracklist is full of songs I've either heard a million times (True Faith, Atmosphere) or it is songs I don't like (Slow Jam, Rock the shack). I'd be interested in hearing Touched by the Hand of God and Paradise on there but that is just about it. That's just me though.
This is better then the retro cd. The only way it could have been better is if they had the Audio version of transmision instead of the video. Just think, close range the way Barney wanted it to be! I have great copies of these songs, but still!!!
Hey Nic, how about we start a petition for a new order videos dvd! And we can send it to Rhino or whoever???

They are basically 'live' session versions, in that they sound like practice runs for what you heard on the 98/01 tour dates, just recorded 'as live' in a studio, with subsequent mixing. Nice, energetic, spontaneous versions of all the tracks though, and minus any 'whooping' as far as I can recall!

That's the BBC Peel Session studio in Maida Vale.

Seconded. These are especially excellent versions of Isolation, Touched and Paradise.
Well, they are their live versions, but in studio, without any audience cheering...
So even Mike will like them :p

They aren't that live. Sure they are done as one original take, but there is all kinds of overdubbing etc done then, and I hate to think how many takes they need to do of each song to end up with 4 or 5 they can use. I know one or two bands who have done Peel sessions, it takes a full day to record a 4 song session.
Surely its better to argue about what constitutes a "live" performance for a forthcoming album when we actually know the album is round the corner, than wildly speculate on when the bloody hell an album may actually ever appear!

Andy. Oh yeah, I have an old one on vinyl which has like 586 and We All Stand and I really like it. The format is great but I'm just not crazy about the tracklisting. To each their own though, glad for those who are hyped over it
Hmm, well maybe I will give it a chance when it comes out at the store. They have listening stations. I'd probably do that anyway but we shall see

No it ain't - I've been to Maida Vale to see a live edition of the John Peel Show, and it's much plusher than that! This broadcast was made for an edition of John Peel's show (think it was his 30-year anniversary at Radio 1), and the broadcast came from elsewhere, with the live audio going out on the airwaves. It was probably their rehersal studio while they were preparing for the 'Get Ready' tour, I'm guessing.

I'd be interested to know how many of the 500+ people that signed the petition will actually go out and buy the thing, rather than burn CD-R copies or download it from the Internet!

No doubt there is overdubbing, but there's certainly mistakes still present on these versions (such as Barney coming in early with the guitar chords during the middle instrumental section of 'True Faith'), so they must have recorded these 'as live' to a certain degree, or at least have been less fussy about correcting mistakes. Don't get me wrong - I love these versions, probably because of their rougher sound and imperfect musicianship!
Andy.
Here's a link to Amazon Germany, seems not to be an import...

What I meant is that they are the versions they DO live, but in studio...

We've had the CDR for 5 years now, it's time to have the real thing, don't you think?
I seriously think people here don't copy New Order material, they buy it.. this is what you do when you are a real fan and when the thing is actually available to buy without being ripped off...

I am a NO fan, I have these songs in mp3's only because they were not commercially available, I signed the petition and I will gladly buy the official release, mabye even a few copies. The fact that Strange Fruit is not a member of the dreaded RIAA also helps a bit...
