Opinions on the WFTSC 3x7" mixes?

The cover case is just fits the 3 singles in with the spines facing the right. (took me ages to figure that one out) my inner sleeves are a nice deep blue colour I think that the temptation mix is different but good, dont really like the EGG mix (never liked that song anyway), as for BLT that song has always seemed to me to be a track that any 2 bit DJ will try to do a remix of, just adding bits & bobs that dont really enhance the original mix. Bit dissapointed by the artwork for the singles CD - seems Peter Saville is charging money for old rope!

Came home from holidays to find my shiny new 7" singles waiting on the doorstep - whoo hoo! Open the package oh so carefully....d'oh! 2 copies of the Temptation! No EGG! X%#$*!&%^@!

You're really not having the best of luck! :(

Juno.co.uk next time mate! :) No problems at all, two pristine sets delivered in 2 days.

Now we can fully see why he chooses to call himself nuts....

Perhaps after this fiasco his name will officially be changed to HAZEL

Are the versions on the 5 track CDR promo longer than the ones released on the 7" singles then?

Yup, two of the mixes are full-length mixes (Richard X Remix of BLT and the Secret Machines Remix of Temptation), and you also get an exclusive remix of EGG by Martin Buttrich.

It's possible that the two full-length mixes might be included on the up & coming Japanese CD of "Singles" - due out 26th October.

so - should I buy it from eBay now for £30-£40 or wait and hope the price comes down?? shit, I dunno

POSITIVE you are HMV NEGATIVE Nuts.Btw thanks for that KRAFTY gesture.

After listening to and loving the new mixes of Temptation and BLT I put on my vinyl 'Rest of' and liked them twice as much. That version of Temptation is possibly the worst thing ever to have been associated with the name 'New Order'.

I don't know how they managed to screw "The Rest Of" up so badly, when there were a wealth of cracking remixes already available for most of the songs. Getting a load of remixers in to do them again was insane.

I'd like to make a list of what my "alternative" Rest Of would look like it it were compiled today - but I really can't be arsed. I can't even decide what my all-time favourite New Order remix is.

Anyone heard the WFTSC-"Tribute"-Mix in full length (7:09)? I only listened to a version of bad sound quality but the remix is great. I Liked the way it played with the Bizarre-Drums. Just could use a little Re-editing. Who knows how to get this Mix on Vinyl or MP.3???

Like the EGG mix quite a bit, like the BLT somewhat, the Temptation mix is rather unexciting.

Still waiting for a good remix (or cover version) of temptation. I once heard one in a dream, slowed down, with a sort of wind chime sound in place of the beeps on the sequencer line. Now that was an exclusive mix, only available in my dreams. I should have given it a FAC number.

I'd still like to hear a Sonic Youth style dischordant noise version.

Bizarre Love Triangle (Richard X Remix)

• Very good remix! The full length version makes it even better. Definitely one of my favourite mix of that song, but I think Shep's mix is still the best one.

Everything's Gone Green (Martin Buttrich Remix) -I liked it very much, even more that the Cicada's. I think it sounds a little like an update to the original version without losing the original feel of the song.

Everything’s Gone Green (Cicada Remix) -EGG vs. Blue Monday. It's not that bad, but it's not that much creative... But compared to the other tracks, it is still a highlight.

Temptation (Secret Machines Remix) -Humm, strange this one. Maybe I'll get used to it... Too much different from the "original" for an extended version and too similar to the original for an updated remix (can someone understand what i mean?)

Waiting For The Sirens’ Call (Jacknife Lee Remix) One other that I have to get used to... I don't know so many mixes by this guy but he did a very good job with his "Jacknife Lee 12 Inch Remix" of U2's Vertigo. I was hoping something much better. I agree that London should ask they money back. :)

Waiting For The Sirens’ Call (Rich Costey Radio Edit)Waiting For The Sirens’ Call (Band Mix) They didn't add anything to the album version. Will we have any good remix for WFTSC? Maybe that Tribute Mix as finished/full sound quality? I have the 192kbps 7:09 file but it sounds a little unfinished for me. Thanks, robertoaf*gmail.com
