WTFSC Single Press Release & Artwork - 3x7" + 2 tracks CD Single

and by the way, the comments regarding the artwork of said vinyl should be separated from the comments about the vinyl release only concept...into a separate thread.

they get in the way of those of us stating our dismay at such a bullshit happening...sorry, Im so pissed off.

and thank god DM has a new abum and single

I want my Slipcase . Dammed. Please someone give me the GIFT . My anivversary on 19 october.

:D :\ohwell:

Blasphemy!!

Personally, I am all for this release as it is. I think the idea is spendid and more importantly harkens back to the days of old.

WHAT could be MORE New Order than that?!! Best recognize beeyatches!!!

Note - My turntable is ready to go!!!

Record company statement:

The record company actually feel that by releasing the single in this format they'll be giving something back to the fans, as they're providing something that's really collectible and special.

            :abovelol: 

Best joke I've heard all year!

Now THAT would make sense!!

Disappointed - once more! Great, great, fookin great artwork... more than just sexy, it's really... beautiful, you know? As only true beautiful art can be. I've always found pictures like these more appealing than the usual erotica images you get in the media of pseudo-sophisticated women... But we live in Bush-era now, and images like this are not tolerated. This would get the Salvation Army burning copies in the street to save the children from the corruption inspired by such an "obscene" picture. What a stupid world we live in. Add the fact Jetstream hasn't sold well, and the WFTSC would have sold less. Obviously Warners have run away from the idea of releasing it on mass market, and just made a release "for fans only"... Well, fuck off. Nic make them change their minds. I do want a CD single. I'd buy a 7" copy for the artwork, probably the most beautiful since Technique. But can I buy one copy only or is it only available as a single order of all the three versions for UK residents only? Anyway what happened to the planned CD and DVD singles? We're back to the days of Electronic's Until The End Of Time indeed... And is it Turn to be really released as a single?

7-inch only? I don't have a record player. I don't even use my cd player anymore.

Anywhere in the UK taking orders for the 3x 7" singles??

My deck a spinning and ready to go. Whats wrong with 7" singles, loads of bands are releasing them now

Anyway I have a CD. It's blue with a big white S

I am not concerned about the vinyl format or the free sleeve. The #1 concern is, how can I get these singles in the US. Where will they be sold? Can they be ordered somewhere? I do not want to miss out on this release. Please keep us informed as to how these singles can be purchased.

Try sirendisc.com. I should warn you that at least in the case of CDs, their shipping packages are not very good at protecting the contents.

You could always order them from Amazon UK. I assume they would have them. Or eil.

I'll sell you my spare

I saw some DJ spec ones at Cash Converters in Woden a couple of weeks ago for about $300 each.

These are great for the money

Nothing wrong with 7" singles. I love 'em. My complaint is there is no CD release for these exclusive mixes to be included on. Wait! Maybe a limited edition, bonus disc version of WFTSC is in the works? Blah!

What's wrong?

They have been extincted 20 years ago !!!

Replaced by cassette singles, and then CD single, and even the CD single is completly dead in North America in our days.

To be completly honest, *I* won't pay for this, so they just found a good reason for me to get illegal copies of the files.

I want a CD release and I want it now :D

I'm not even sure I have an amplifier able to plug a turn table in anymore... I do have one who is stored since 8 years "just in case", but there is no way I'm going to install this.

I'm with the other guy that says that he's not even using his CD anymore.. I don't either, I automatically rip the files on my Computer and put them on my iPod or backup CDrs I can use in the car...

I agree there should be at least one CD but there is nothing wrong with 7" singles. Shite for DJing with though

Let's face it, it all comes down to this:

Nothing against vynil, nothing against releasing a 7" single "for the fans"...

but why oh why make it the only available format?

Glad for myself that it's being released on the 7" set (if I can find a copy that is), but it is a bit hard to believe that those remixes will not be available anywhere else, especially for the die-hard fans that don't have a turntable.

the death of the music industry is upon us. Top of the pops is now on the graveyard shift on sunday tea time here in the UK. But we WILL posecute anyone illegally downloading our product!!!!!

Total twats!!!!

I will add that I wont get this. I'll just wait for the Mp3 to make its way around.

And I dont use cd's anymore. It all goes on my mp3 player.

Unfortunately, I can confirm this. Don't expect the sleeves to arrive in good shape if you order from them.

I sort of like the idea in theory ... I dont really know. I dont listen to CDs that much and I dont know how to work a record player... born in the CD age. It will be a collectors item I suppose and I like the for the fans approach, and the artwork.

But Spotnick, any word from the record company if this single, Item, Singles or any of this new stuff will get a release in Australia?

Um, I don't have a record player, and I know no one with a record player. This is 2005, not 1965. Even jukeboxes are digital now. What is the point of 7" vinyl in this day and age?

Oh well, either these files will show up in iTunes USA like Krafty and Jetstream did, or it just prompts me to "find" the files in some other manner.

What else do they expect everyone to do really? Go buy a record player? The only turntables I can even find are for DJs. Oh ok, I'll buy some hoity-toity Technics to play a couple 7"s that I will just immediately rip to my computer so I can listen to them on my iPod (the only place I listen to music).

Retards. I guess I'll spend my money on DM's Precious single in iTunes instead.

A CD will be issued a week later with

01 WFTSC (Video Mix) 02 WFTSC (Daniel Miller Edit) 03 WFTSC (Arthur Baker Dub) 04 BLUE MONDAY (Radio Station Only 1983 Edit 7") 05 1963 (Instrumental)

This is inside info from LONDON RECORDS.

The 7" x 3 singles will be released as previously stated and there will be NO cd for those versions. Yes. Strange!?!? - But true.

DJ copies of the CD i mention above are due for promo mail out.

I asure you there are people and dj's out there who ONLY use vinyl. And in this day and age i thought you would realise how Vinyl is still king for the DJ.

I like this idea. i AGREE with the other guy that said this is a totally New Order move: release the best song on the album in a virtually obsolete format. Since it's not intended for the mass market, they can do something with the cover that they wouldn't normally be allowed to do: ie. put a nude girl on the cover.

It's interesting and special if you actually get your hands on it, versus another cd single filled with mediocre remixes that you'll never listen to. Remixes don't really do anything for me anymore. I would rather New Order released any aborted, half-baked jam session on singles rather then yet another remix.

If you don't have a record player you'll still be able to hear these tracks. I'd be very surprised if they don't show up as a digital download on iTunes or at least on some future release.
