Perhaps I should know this -but I don't.

I just found a copy of the Aus Tour Ediiton of 60 miles an hour single and it lists the REading festival version of temptation as being written by New Order & Sumner. What the heck does that mean? Is this someone else who happens to have the name Sumner? Cos Sumner would be included in the umbrella of New Order, right. At a supreme level of confusion.

According to 511, Sumner is the sole author of the song and he doesn't want to share its credits with the rest of New Order. :rofl:

Ha. That's be right. Are any people from this site featured in that little doco on 511?

El Jarvo is on there - he's the one talking about the story of the Ceremony flag. And the whole doco was filmed by NOOLer Emeritus Jonathan Scott, who was a frequent flyer here but hasn't been sighted (to my knowledge) for quite a while. There's probably a few others from here on there somewhere too. Couldv'e sworn I saw Johnny Giles in the crowd on the Glasto DVD too.:skeptic: CTB :bear:

If barney wrote that tune on his own, note for note, drum strike for drumstrike, I'll eat my bass.

For ONE reason.....have you ever handed a drummer a score? No, you haven't, cos if you had, you'd be too deceased to be posting here....scores are best delivered to drummers on the end of comedy extending arms from behind a sound screen (preferably a blast screen). Last time I seen a drummer handed one, I heard him play it note for note, in amazement I poked my head in the room, to see him reading it, or rather the final shattered remains of it, off the batter head of his snare :)
