Girls Aloud Producer working with NewOrder for Friday March 25th

This from the (Irish) Star 21-December-2004:

GIRLS ALOUD WHIZZ JOINS NEW ORDER ON NEW ALBUM

NEW ORDER'S record company has confirmed that the legendary band is working with Girls Aloud production whizz Barry Higgins - and the tracks WILL be included on their next album. Recent reports suggested that the tracks New Order recorded with Higgins had not been finished in time for inclusion on the album. But yesterday a spokesperson for the band's label Warner Music told Hotzone: "The New Order album isn't even finished yet. "But we have been given a release date - Friday March 25". Another source said Higgins, who produced Girls Aloud's What Will The Neighbours Say, is currently hard at it in the studio with New Order. Other tracks on their opus have Stephen Street at the helm.

If this has any ring of truth in it, then thinking that the new album will be released at the end of March is being almost hopelessly naive.

That report sounds dubious - Aren't single/album release dates always a Monday? Just like the expiry date for crisps are always a certain day (forgot it now).

Well in UK at least.

and its, Brian, not Barry Higgins....

I'm looking forward to the b-side that the Cheeky Girls producer is working on with them.

Oh my god!

that is amazing news!

the expiry date on crisps is always the same day?!

excerpt mentioning NO - could be 'interesting'....

"Initially reluctant to give examples of the sort of people he's turned down, Higgins is eventually beguiled into letting slip the names of Gareth Gates and Atomic Kitten, with Texas and - any diehard Factory snobs are advised to cover their eyes at this point - New Order among the commissions he has recently accepted. Listening to 'Graffiti My Soul', a standout track from the forthcoming second Girls Aloud album, it's easy to understand what might have drawn the wily Mancunians to Xenomania".

Sounds like Higgins might be (hopefully) on board to mix the recorded tracks - not to record new ones. If they're starting from scratch we're in trouble:(

Yeah, official release dates here are normally Friday, after Thursday deliveries; which means that you can often pick up the cd on the Thursday evening - so I know where I'll be on Thursday 24th:D

that report is a lot of rubbish - The Scottish Daily Record said they were working with Stock Aitken & Waterman - I'm inclined to believe the record before the star...

Girls Aloud are working with S.A.W? that can only improve them surely.
