Just a slight adjustment to Q.6: It should read;What is the only officially known studio recording of another artist's song by N.O.(The original artist part of the question rem's the same)

1. Electroset & Kylie Minogue (also Orgy was it?)

2. Er... no idea

3. Tequila Sunrise???

4. The Alarm maybe, if they're Scottish??

5. Possibly Blue Monday? No idea why though! Except that I remember them wanting to experiment with synthesizers so that they could 'fuck off and leave it to do its own thing'

6. Turn the Heater On by Keith Hudson

7. Possibly because Blue Monday never featured on the original album, so why would it? ;)

8. Both recorded in New York???

I'm obviously very bad at this, but at least I had a go... ;)

#2 was the Washington DC gig, 8/7/83, and Hooky had had a couple too many melonballs, at least according to that NME story.

I believe #5 was Blue Monday. Steve said he programmed computerized vocals but they weren't very good and got wiped.

Full marks Green & Wasimple on (2) & (5). After all the work that Steve put into programming the Apple speech synth vocals just to have them wiped by the engineer he couldnae be arsed to do them again, and that's the main reason why Bernie had to use his own vox instead.

Completely forgot that one Nic!! Must say I prefer Turn The Heater On though.

If they do, I will remind them of the pact JD had among themselves if any of thier members "left", that they would change thier name or as some incorrectly assumed, split up.

4. Simple Minds

7. Crass released "How Does It Feel (To Be The Mother Of 1000 Dead)" as a single just before PC&L was released, and New Order didn't really want to be associated with Steve Ignorant and Co.

Good one John & Aged Primate(Old Monkey). Both right.

If I didn't say it before, cheers to all that had a go & I promise there'll be more quizzes at some stage of this year again. :D
