Collectors' Corner (Trainspotters need only apply)

I think Dephtcharge is actually a burglar considering what are the most interesting buildings to go to...

Originally posted by CandyTheDog In no strict order here, but I have:*All official albums*Ceremony, Blue Monday, Confusion, Thieves Like Us, Murder, SubCulture, State of the Nation, True Faith, True Faith Remix, Fine Time, Fine Time Remix, Round & round remix - 12' singles*Temptation, Bizarre Love Triangle, Touched by the Hand of God 7" singles*Regret, World, Ruined in a day, Crystal cd singles*World in Motion 'cassingle'*3 16 DVD*Radio Order vinyl 12" bootleg*Hacienda 1983 vinyl 12" bootleg*Paradiso 1984 casette bootleg*and a shitload of stuff downloaded and burned from this and other sites (thanks guys!)CTD

Hey CTD....I don't own any bootleg stuff. Looks like I should be seeking your help to enhance my collection since you are not too far from Sydney...

Well, here's part of my collection I can remember.

1. All official albums on CDs ( and vinyl till Technique & Rest Of )
2. 7" - State Nation, BLT, True Faith, TBTHOG, Shellshock, Round&R
3. 12" - FACTUS 8, Blue Monday, Confusion, Thieves, Murder, Kiss, Subculture, State, BLT, Shellshock,TBTHOG, True Faith, TF Remix, FineTime, Round&R,WorldMotion, WM Remix, Regret Throb/Slow..etc , World.
4. CD singles - Too many, mostly local ( Aus ) and UK releases from BlueMonday88 to current ( I don't have that True Faith VCD - Bah!!! )
5. VHS - Taras, PFD, Substance, Best Of, NO story ( Too bad, no Academy!!! )
6. Posters - Official JD Closer, Lowlife, Substance. ( I used to have an official brotherhood poster but accidently left in a garage in Newcastle )

Rare stuff- I don't have much. I think what Australians consider as rare, may be easily available in UK or US. Like my Run 12", Palatine CD Boxset, Italian issue of PCL vinyl ( very shonky label ), die-cut 1963 box, Brotherhood CD with metallic slick and bonus CD pocket in brotherhood blue, US promo Best of ( very no-frills like ), Round&remix 3" CD.

This is off-topic but my rarest stuff is a vinyl of The Go-Betweens 1988 with every members signature and me name - wishing me well from chicken pox.....

I must agree with Huntsy about the Regret Slo'Throb' mix...bloody waste of my money...don't like all those bells and excessive indulgence.

I've got a page from NME Fred Fact which was classified as FAC No.-something, can't remember now...

Originally posted by Brian Geoghagan Huntsman-Andrew Weatherall is still cutting edge. You don't smoke herb do you Huntsman? I think a little might make you appreciate the Slow and Low mix.

i dont think Weatherall's really been cutting edge for the last 10 years. His ommision froma recent top 150djs survey might suggest a lot of other people agree with me.

When you say smoking d'herb improves the quality of those pretty dull mixes, its much the same as saying drop a couple of Eccies and listen to the how much better the James Holden Dub of SLY sounds.

I Dont think Ive got any rarities unfortunately, bar a couple of bootlegs and cover tapes off NME and such like

:o I have all the albums on vinyl (except the rest of)plus PCL on c.d. ceremony 7" on 12" Confusion, Thieves Like Us,Perfect Kiss,Touched,Fine Time,World in motion,Blue Monday 95,Regret,World,Ruined in a day,Cystal (coombes and Bedrock mixes)Cystal CD1 on video, NO story and A compilation of the Videos can't remember it's name. The only remotely rare thing is Salvation.Not much of a one for live bootlegs have one on vinyl and a few on cassette usually put off by the quality.Used to have that fred fact page, me Mum through it out,John Barnes and Barney poster used to hang on my wall along side a Touched bthog one.

All in all it's pretty sad,no wonder no ones heard of them with fans like me around,memo to self must try harder. All my T-shirts are knackered as well.

Right then, I think I'll be casing Huntsy's joint first although the word on the street is that he lines the corridors to his Factory shrine with fresh Pringles every night and is awakened immediately at the merest hint of an unauthorised crunch. Swiping his formidable gear becomes strictly a Tom Cruise-like vertical entry operation.

Failing that I'll strap Jarvis down and attach a few diodes to his head ala Schwarzy in Total Recall. I'll then nick his mind-bogling memory bank of NewOrder gigs and transplant them in my own noggin. I'll be invincible.

:evil:

Originally posted by Allen Jarvis One thing I've got, which no one appears to have mentioned, is a big box of cuttings - Sounds, NME, Melody Maker, Record Mirror, etc, from the early 80's.

Good point. I've got quite a few, but nowhere near as many as I have got old Page 3 pics of Kirsten Imrie !!

What about our patrons Seb and Nic?

I'm sure I've heard Seb allude to an almighty NewOrder collection before???

Is it a 'big one' Seb?

How about the 2 books of Joy Divison/New Order articles, A History In Cuttings? 160 pages of fanzine and mainstream articles, as well as lyrics, gig guides(up to date for the time), and lyrics. Found copies of both editions back in the mid-80's, even though the second one has quite a few articles written in Dutch. No publisher info on the books themselves anywhere, so I don't know where they were put together or who had the idea to do so.

Oh yes, the books. I think I must have almost all of them. And all the official video releases too...

EVERY SINGLE New Order album and single on vinyl, or CD or tape, except the recent Get Ready stuff. ( with it's cop-out CD-only remixes and pointless 12"s released at god only knows what dates afterwards)

That's cos Fuckin' London Records never bothered even bringing out the bloody album on vinyl!!! Or if it has been issued, I've not seen one fuckin' copy any bleedin where.....like looking for scotch mist. Maybe its London's idea of a sick joke just to give us sad vinyl addicts the run around. Well, if that's indeed the case, the joke isn't even funny and I'm fucking fuming!

Chill Marty!

;)

The album is available on vinyl through London.. I have one.. It was pressed in Germany and I've heard you can order it at HMV/Tower/Virgin in the UK. Alternatively, you can order it online from Amazon.co.uk. Admittedly it seems to be a limited release but that's the way with vinyl long-players these days..

Cheers for the responses, here's mine:

1. My collection currently numbers somewhere in the 250 item region.

2. I collect ALL NewOrder releases from ALL countries on ALL formats- promos, cassette, vinyl 7s, 12s and LPs, CD, video, DVD and even DAT, CDV, Laserdisc, acetate, soundtracks, whatever.. I limit my unauthorised product to vinyl bootlegs. However I'm not trying to collect every single frickin thing from every country- eg. if the AU CD version of a release has the same tracklisting and artwork as the UK CD then I generally won't get both. But I do admit to collecting every single and album on every available format. This leads to me owning such patently ridiculous things such as 13 versions of the Crystal single.

3.Some shit that's valuable to me, such as my scratchy first ever item a 1983 NZ Blue Monday 12" or my AU True Faith remix 12" with the cool Racic Paradise remix are not so rare.. I guess some of the more obscure items I have are the original From Brussels cassette set featuring 'Haystack'; the Christmas flexi; the unique 87 US True Faith promo CD; Run2 7" and 12"s, a Run2 signed by Hooky, a PCL vinyl signed by the band, Polish original BlueMonday 7", Gatefold Sunstance, Featuremist with Prime 5-8-6 parts I and III, a Thieves acetate and other stuff.. I also own a cheeky bottle of red wine with the lyrics to Temptation quoted on the back. Not something you see every day..

4. I'm still missing the odd 7" such as 1963 and BM95, and I only have 5 of the 9 Procession 7" colours (a Huntsman collectible!) I now have all the albums on vinyl as well as CD and I'm missing a couple of linen box Factory cassettes.. I like 'em! I'd also _quite like_ a metallic Brotherhood vinyl, the orange vinyl US In Order, the NZ red vinyl Blue Monday 83, the full-length Elegia tape and on and on...

If anyone wants to trade anything get in touch..

5. I check eBay and GEMM regularly but the coolest thing is to walk into a dingy little old vinyl store in a new city and stumble across something new..

What I'd like to see is some of the collections of those hardcore anoraks, like the owner of the WIM site, Jonathon and Fernando from the Ceremony Mailing List, maybe Seb or Nic from this site???

Marty,I recall you saying you've got a bit of previous in there but I picked it up in Probe on vinyl, if your passing this way.

Fuck!! I don't have anything by New Order!! No vinyl, no tapes, no cd's, no vcd's, no vids, no dvd's, no posters, no cuttings, no t-shirts, not a funkin sausage!! I do have Duran Duran's greatest hits on cd, and they kind of sound like New Order, don't they?? Does that count?? ;)

Buffy, I think you've spent too long freeze-framing the Girls on Film video and your brain has glazed over.

I thought the Duranies were New Order?...when they dressed up... By the way I have Duranies CDs too but I bet you don't have this - I've got Nick Rhodes's mascara in my collection...

Ah...but do you have Peter Hook's old colostomy bag? (Fac P155)

Colostomy bag? ..I thought that was a complimentary giftbag from Fosters....smells like one...

Deepthroat, you may be right!

Surely Scruffy you own the 12" of Dogfight?

A guy i went to school with bought a 7" ltd edition of blue monday totally unlabelled apart from factory promo stamped on it with the big hole in the centre. He paid about 40quid for it and this was about 15years ago. I remember little else about it aside from the fact he outbid me for it in the shop and over the years i've always wondered what its origins are and how rare it is..

Unfortunatly i lost contact with my mate soon after we left school, he may be sitting on a nice little nest egg if he still has it...

... not wanting to spray piss all over your potential bonfire but I have in my suitably outstanding collection a 10" acetate of Blue Monday which (at the time in 1985) was worth 60 sheets. It might play like a needle scraping over sandpaper but boy does it glimmer in the limelight.

fear not i have no intention of starting any fires!

as Barney once said introducing Love Vigilantes "its not the size that counts is it" referring to his melodica obviously... ;)

Well now I feel like the guilty partner which wasn't my intention. I couldn't quite phrase that last post about the acetate and have ended up looking like a walrus, unwanted at a childrens party.

Perhaps I should have mentioned that the 7" of Blue ScranDay is highly desireable and as rare as ostrich nostrils... Maybe you should go back to your roots and slam a hammer in your mates eye to claim your prize... or, place a timebomb in his throat keeping your distance for a few minutes until the dust has settled on his shoes.

ha!ha! no worries, :)

as for tracking down my old school chum, now thats not a bad idea especially as i've just reminded myself i lent him my Substance Video eons ago and it has never resurfaced.... *ahem* Substance vid from OurPrice is a fair trade with the 7" of BM im sure ;)
