LTM are pleased to announce the first live album by Revenge, the electro/hard rock hybrid fronted by New Order bass player Peter Hook between 1989 and 1992.

Following on from the success of LTM’s expanded re-release of the 1990 Revenge album One True Passion, the in-concert collection No Pain No Gain captures the band at their live peak in 1991. The first 8 tracks represent an entire performance at Manchester’s celebrated Cities in the Park festival in August 1991, while the remainder of the CD is culled from a show in Kawasaki, Japan, several months later.

In addition to hi-octane versions of Revenge originals such as Slave, State of Shock and Jesus I Love You, the CD includes storming covers of Dreams Never End (New Order), White Light/White Heat (Velvet Underground) and Citadel (Rolling Stones).

All material has been digitally remastered. The set contains 70 minutes of music and sleevenotes by New Order biographer Claude Flowers, including a new interview with Peter Hook.

Artist history: Following the release of Technique in 1989, all four members of New Order spent time apart to pursue other ventures. Never merely a solo project, Hook was joined in Revenge first by Chris Jones and Dave Hicks, and later by David Potts, who remained with Hook as part of Monaco five years later. In some respects Revenge can be seen as a dry run for Monaco, who went on to deliver a top ten album and single early in 1997.

I don't even have the Japanese gig in the concert browser... anybody have information on this?

I guess not, but I ask anyway.

i love Revenge and i´d love to hear how they sound live in a full concert (i only heard Bleachman fom the nool archives).

well, it seems Mr. Hook is giving it all out about Revenge. that´s good because that´s a sign that he cares about us editing everything in conditions to be edited.

BTW, if this album sells, a Monaco Live album might be on the way.... don't tell anyone I said this ;)

I told James Nice it would be nice to have Reading 98 for Monaco, because that's where they had tracks of the 2nd album + did a cover of Lonesome Tonight AND it's also the day Hooky played with both Monaco and New Order on the same day...

DVDs might also be coming...

Me neither, though I think he might've just played the bassline for a couple of seconds? Defo did play Lonesome Tonight on occasion cos Tim Burgess sang the track with them at a Manc gig (support to Charlatans?)

Okok, bad memory. I remember they did Kashmere though...

PFD as in Pumped Full of Drugs?

It's already been released on DVD... in Japan! you need to order it via the web. NTSC and Region 1, so works #1 in North America!
