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.

Is this a joke?

It's definitively THE great idea of the year. WFTSC is the only best track of this album. And they decide to make a piece of art with these 3 collectors. Great... Even if you don't have a good turntable, buy these and put them under a beautifful glas to hang them in your living room... Top of the top!

Note: from now, there will be peoples who have these and peoples who dont... The hunting begins...

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.

Obviously DJ's use vinyl, but non-DJ's?

If you know non-DJ's who even OWN a record player (never mind use them EXCLUSIVELY), then you run in vastly different circles than I.

I think I have met one person in my entire life who was a vinyl snob... and he was a social retard who only listened to rockabilly and who wore his hair in a pompadour. Affected tool.

But hey, if that's the type to whom New Order want to market, then by all means. I'll just wait until they are released digitally.

you can buy a turntable at a pawn shop for 25$ its worth it,there is a lot of tracks ( b-sides ,rmx ...)you can only find on vinyl. ...and its like...collectors...

There hasn't been a Japanese single since Crystal. This is the perfect opportunity for them to put out an exclusive compilation EP of New Order's recent single releases.

I can't believe people saying that non-DJ's don't own a record player. If you have a hi-fi and you buy a record player it will sound better than the equivalent priced CD player. Fact.

Now get out there and buy one you fools.

We're 3 weeks from release and it's not listed on any online shops... just sirencd that have the CD+DVD ;)

Sirencd have now updated their forthcoming releases to feature the 3 x 7" singles! :)

You have to find an amplifier that actually supports the connection for a turntable.

I'm sorry to say I haven't seen any in a while...

Although maybe more recent turntables have RCA connectors only... don't know :shrug:

I'll wait for the mp3s, more convivial... if I do get the 3x7", there is no way I'm going to play them, they will remain MINT :D

this is what i've been thinking, no online shops have updated anything.

I was a little bored inbetween shifts from work yesterday and was on HMV website and it claimed Waiting for the sirens call had been released over here yesterday so i placed my order and today it's on 'special order from our suppliers' so guess i won't be getting that then.

It's not like that in the UK!

The majority of amps have the connections and if they don't it's very cheap to buy a phono stage

I know, however I still don't get why it's 7" and not 12"...

Even for collectors, a 2x12" like they did for Someone Like You would have been more appriopriate IMHO.

7"... do they have small holes or the big ones that needs an adapter? I'm not even sure I can actually FIND that adapter anymore :lol:

Nope, only the jukebox records needed an adapter - same small holes for 7"'s as 12"'s! :)

The 7" single, btw, seems to be having quite a resurgence here in the UK... Also, it's quite appropriate for a compilation album called 'Singles' to have 7" singles preceding it :shades:

I'd still prefer a CD single, though... :brow:

I think the 7 inches are kool but obviously they do not have the DJs in mind.

12" are much better for play than a 7 inch because the groove spacing is different on a 12".

Youre all talking about the vinyl 7"singles and how much of a disaster that is. But of course as I previously mentioned, a week after UK release - the CD single with remixes will be available and Im quite sure other countries will release the 7" versions on Maxi CD.

The mixes due on CD single (UK LONDON) will be: 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)

Yes, but you have a fictitious name, have only made three posts, and offer no evidence of where you got this inside information from London/Warner... Stop mucking around or show us some proof.

Don't get me wrong Nick, it's a nice idea to release the 3x7"... it's a very bad idea not to release a CD....

I feel they will release a CD later, so they don't care about the charting at all.. anyways, it's not like the song will chart that much, nobody reported that he heard it on the radio yet...

Maybe they will release WFTSC/Turn CD just like the US did with Jetstream/Krafty :scratch:

So no variation of Temptation on the B sides of the Cd then Willo?:skeptic: Well what is the point of that?But I think you must be right about a Cd being released after all...Otherwise its not a proper release in these days of needleless Hi-fis is it ?..Is this song going to be a single, with a video,costing money, promotion, TV, Mtv, Q,MTv2 Etc etc...and get a daft £600 back on Vynil sales,no cd for people to buy?you are having a giraffe!!

OK. Wait and see. The Remixes of WFTSC were made at Sarm West Studios in London, with Arthur Baker present and with Daniel Miller present. Post production was by Trevor Horn. For more info you may like to call SARM at 8-10 Basing Street, London or call 0207 229 1229 www.sarmstudios.com LONDON RECORDS have already sent out CD promos of the remixes i mentioned and Radio 1 have played the Arthur Baker Dub on one of the dance shows at weekend. The BLUE MONDAY track is the first time on CD - originally made as a 7" for US radio stations promo only - due to the length of the 12" I assure you my information is correct. There is also another NO album due in 2006.

I rest my case.

If true (don't really have a reason to doubt it, you do work at Sarm West since your email is sarm.co.uk)

What seems fishy is the track listing... I can't see a reason why New Order would suddenly release the Blue Monday 7" (well, it should be on Singles, isn't it?) and not include the other mixes that should be on the 7"...

If so, I'm puzzled.. the problem is the project manager at Warner/London said to me their would MAYBE be a CD, they haven't decided yet... so I don't know who to believe.

BTW, it's at your studio that Razormaid did the Sarm West mix of Subculture? :confused2:

http://www.sarm.co.uk and Sarm Studios appear to be two entirely different operations...

None of the published tracklistings for any Radio 1 show over the weekend show WFTSC to have been played.

Now you're really stirring up a hornets' nest.

The existence - or otherwise - of such a radio edit 7" has had many wise men scratching their asses for decades. I don't suppose you can provide any further release info about this? If it's in any way true, surely it suggests that some of the London suits have been casting a lazy eye over NOOL? We were only debating it again recently.

Unless of course it's actually the Japanese or Polish 7" promo edit.

I just got a confirmation by London Records:

We are releasing a 2 track CD on Sirens, we are seeing if we can make it for the 26th but it might have to be the 3rd Oct as the 7" need to take priority for release week - the tracks will be the rich costey and jacknife lee

Better late than never, but what a botched process.

Think of it this way, maybe they actually expect to chart with the 3x7".. if everybody from the UK fanbase buy them, it's 3 items for the count... :shrug:

Although I fail to believe that a 7" would chart these days... :skeptic:
