Not a bad compilation, especially since I didn't pick up the last one, "Martin", when that came out!

interesting

I can see that going in the Autochanger in the Rolls and never coming out.

Cheers Nick

It has the 12" version of 'In A Lonely Place' on it

I have the first Martin Hannett comp on tape somewhere -that was a reallygood comp - this one looks pretty similar but with more tracks, although I think on the last one it had She's Lost Control and EGG...

That's cool.

Far too many trax that were also on the last one - for me a disappointment.

Nice to see Pauline Murray and The Only Ones included though.

Pauline Murray's Dream Sequence is one of my fave singles, cannot remember if Dream Sequence 1 is the single or inferior album version.

Track listing for 'Here Is The Young Man' was:

Shes Lost Control(12") - JD Ceremony - NO 11 O'Clock - U2 Song From Under The floorboards - Magazine Wrote For Luck - HM Jilted John - Jilted John Beasley Street - John Cooper Clarke Susans Strange - Psychedelic Furs Don't Hide In The Shadows - Kissing The Pink Belgian Friends - Duritti Column Night Shift - The Names Moody - ESG The Last White Christmas - Basement 5 Get Better - New Fast Automatic Daffodils Cranked Up Really High - Slaughter and the Dogs More - The High Shes a Rainbow - World of Twist Second Aspect Of The Same Thing - Duritti Column

Maybe I was unfair about the amount of overlap.

Does anyone know why 'Pretty In Pink' is on this compilation? Martin never produced it, Steve Lillywhite did. Martin did produce the b-side though...

The NewOrder equation for the year is now complete.

1102 (+/-) 2011 TOTAL= ZERO
