The producer Quincy Jones is the QJ that produced Michael Jackson's Thriller?> > 3. Also the inner album sleeve is white (special kind of paper real slick like.) Did it ever come in Black?

1.Yes (biggest ever 12" seller in the orld ,history.universe....)

2.Yes

3.You mean the 12" inner sleeve?.Yes it came in shiny black.

2. Though QJ didn't produce/remix BM83, which I pressume is the version discussed. QJ is responsible for BM88 though...

3. And yellow for the IT release, through it may not have been die-cut. Also, the inner part is silver on non-die-cut sleeves, but I can't remember if there ever was a silver inner sleeve.

A little BM history at the New Order Discography.

No silly..."Barney & the JD's" was an early working title proposal for the name of the band after Ian died.

I think a few of the different choices were (Help me out here fellas):

Barney & the JD's Black September Witch Doctors of Zimbabwe....to name a few...

It was "Stevie and the JDs", a name by which Wilson had introduced them at the 3rd night at the Moonlight Club in April 1980. I've never heard the "Black September" one before, I must admit.

Not long to go. It all seems real now peeps

although if you're going to name your band after a terrorist organization, that would be the one to go with, i'd say.

Does anyone know about a tour here in the states,or am i going back to europe to see the boys again?:)

Did Gillian take a break from this cd also,and if so when is she coming back? Somebody help me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't help you with the US tour question but as far as I know, Gillian did take a break from this CD as well. It's looking doubtful that she's coming back; she's decided to put her family first. BTW, ignore the "stereotypical North American's first post" comments; some of the people here have a slightly weird sense of humour sometimes.

my gf and i are planning to to the uk later next year if we can get some dates up for some shows im sure ill be leaving sooner

How is it weird? 50% of all Americans who come on here ask when they're touring as their first post, most of them never to return again...

Cant we have some kind of clock counting down to release date in the corner of the screen Nic? I know i am incredible sad!

I agree with this idea! I know it's New Order, but Nick, make a littly magic here... even if on March 28th whatsoever there'll be no release, the counter would count positively... hm... I got confused... Well you're the master :)

Oooooooohhh...A NO ticker! Of course you that once you put one up here on the site Spotty, Ol' Doctor Murphy is gonna pay a visit with his book o laws and mess everything up!

Sunshine Valley Dance- Wasn't that another name they were going to use after Ian died?

Also, I could be wrong- but wasn't their first gig as New Order in September , 1980 at Maxwells in Hoboken, New Jersey?

Kind of ironic , since they haven't played on the East Coast in the U.S. in 11 years.

And the other 50% of all non-Americans wait for someone to ask when the next NO tour is, just so they can correct them.

Can't help it if some peeps never seen NO live.

I still say Temptation is the best NO song. and Radio Transmission best JD song.

Well a source previously close to the band (whose name escapes me at present, whoops) assured us all that the name New Order had been decided long before the debut appearance at the Beach Club in the Arndale.

.....bit slow reacting to this news but i've been ill. A lot may happen between now and then but at least there's something to look forward to.

March 28th eh? Even though that's only a few months off, it can't come any sooner! Really curious as what the sound will be like, i.e., Get Ready-ish? At this point, I won't be picky (I say this now...)! Can't wait for the single though.

I've read that it's going to be closer to the sound of Technique.

why, why, why would warners wait 6 months to release Get Ready? It makes no sense from a marketing perspective, they should release it at the same time as everywhere else so they can take advantage of the publicity.

I hope they don't do the same thing with the new album.

And I pray to god they don't call the album 'Sugarcane'...

Sugarcane is one of our major crops here,doubtful title,however their trend of titles [album] shows one word titles,it might be a work in progress and pretty fluid.I'd really hate to be under that kind of pressure,even with a fan base that will buy it no matter what,to the general public it could make it or break it.
