"Nothing left" as in "they've released the obvious ones, and I can't see the need for any more singles from Get Ready". It's not as if the remixes are consistently good either !
But aren't we overdue for a re-release of Blue Monday? There was '83, '88, '95, and just in time for the 20 years anniversary Blue Monday '03!! Actually, it's two years overdue now by the count.
Here's to Here to Stay coming out in the States by August! If it all.

Funnily enough "Dream On" was also the title of a track on the Chemicals LAST album "Surrender".

Quite right too - I really HATE it when bands have to milk their albums dry for singles. New Order never used to take singles from albums or realease countless "follow-ups" (what a rank record biz term that is) - LowLife was the first album that spawned more than one single. Who needs singles anymore? I mean, Really? What purpose do they serve other than try to "promote" the parent album?
If New Order's Get Ready has sold as much as it apparently has now (just past Gold - no more) then all their fans have it now surely? Any further singles or stupid crap remix packages taken from it are hardly going to boost the album's sales any further are they? Even at Christmas - Get Ready never reported any belated upsurge in its sales to push it back into the lower reaches of the "Hot 100" album chart did it?
So that's my argument why NO should just concentrate on getting some new stuff out from now on - the Chems thingie is a good start. It's time to stop looking back and fucking move on with the times. I can't see any other songs on GR that will pass muster as single fodder anyway - Close Range should've been one instead of 60mph but that's about it really. Surely the band have got other new songs left over from their reported 7- or 8- song backlog left over from the Get Ready sessions. How about it chaps? Stop fleecing us and get them new songs out you bastards - or face your inexorable decline.....
Huberto - just out of interest mate, has the album gone Gold - if so where did you get the info mate? ;)
