First memory of New Order

for some, it will be a mars bar advert in 2006.

advertising unhealthy sweet products. is right

as all my mates were doing the football and drug thing in 1990 i swapped a wrap of speed for a singles compilation video and was amazed at Hooky's bass playing on Perfect Kiss. Then tracked down Technique and have never stopped playing it. Best album i have ever heard at 4 in the morning (or ever!).

Was sitting in the 6th form common room in autumn 1987 when a really catchy, near perfect tune came on the jukebox.

Yup, True Faith.

A girl in my form was big fan and banged a few tracks on a tape and I was off down to Play Inn in Eccles to get the cassette of Substance for the car stereo.

Sped through NO catalogue and then back through JD too.

I can still remember hearing Transmission, Sunrise, TPK, Subculture etc for the 1st time. Special thanks to Mr Pettibone for the TF remix 12" too.

Happy daze.

I think it was either True Faith or Blue Monday on the radio although that SUNKIST commercial might have come first and did a subliminal job on my head. (I drink it to this day).

Walked past my sisters room and I heard the "frog chorus" on Substance...was intrigued and listen for alittle longer. When my sister went out that evening, I swiped the tape and listened to it on my little boombox. Stayed there for quite sometime.....it was 6 years later I returned the tape to my sister, as I felt bad and bought one for myself.
