"best of" who,ll buy it?

looks like NEW ORDER are bringing out another "best of" chances are youve got all the tracks will you still shell out your hard earnt to make you collection complete? if not.. what would make you buy it?

I'd probably buy it, not to complete a collection as I'm way short of anything like that, but because it might be a good compilation of songs to chuck in the car. Most of the original albums have a duff track or 2 and I'm too familiar with the original best of and substance, new car listening material would be welcome.

Some of the tracks might be remastered, as it sounded like some were on previous Best Of; that would be a reason.

i don't think so...i'm not a completest remember? i'm too sane and thrifty.

I don't think I could pass a 'best of' in the music store and not buy it if it had the name 'New Order' on it even if I already have all the singles.

What would people think of a combined 'Best of New Order and Joy Division' ?

Again the 'ideal to listen to in the car' thing would work

I still haven't bothered to pick up the old "Best Of..."

Meh. M - E - H. Meh.

DISCLAIMER: The above post and its implied ambivalence toward the "Best of New Order" CD release is based wholly upon the United States track listing and in no way should be inferred as a disinterest in possible future releases of B-sides or remastered versions. The above post should not be read without alcohol. May cause drowsiness.

Even though I wouldn't need to buy it, I probably would anyway. Why do I get the feeling that the record company would probably take the extra step and promote the disc more so than they did for Get Ready, with maybe a limited edition disc of live tracks,etc.? The Lord, and record companies, move in mysterious ways.

I would buy it regardless of what was on it. Even if it only had Steve singing a medley of DeBarge songs and Gill arrythmically shaking a tambourine.

:\pimp2:

i never bought the first best of anyway, because it pissed me off, if just for the fact that age of consent and love vigilantes were shown as the best that mid-80s new order had to offer. age of consent has cool guitars, and love vigilantes is a cute little pop song, but... fucking hell, what about your silent face? was perfect kiss even on there?

I would buy it! I feel that I owe the band some money, since I got the 1st best of for free when I was working at the music store I would have to own it since it is strictly New Order, and who knows, maybe they will put some cool remixes on it! I can only hope right?

A new "best of"? It sucks, I don't see the point in it... but I would probably buy it anyway (for my car). I'am afraid that the release of a "best of" album would mean no release of a "Recycled" boxset.

Now, this new "best of" will have to be very different from the previous one. I would choose the following tracks:

1. Temptation (original 12")
2. 586
3. Confusion (original 12")
4. Lonesome tonight
5. The perfect kiss (original, un-edited, 12")
6. Love vigilantes
7. Paradise
8. True faith (1994 remasterised version)
9. Vanishing point
10. Dream attack
11. Regret
12. Crystal (Get Ready advance promo version)
13. Close range (BBC version)
14. Your silent face (2001 BBC version)
15. Here to stay (full length vocal)

it will be exactly the same as best of plus crystal 60 mph someone like you and here to stay if anything its just london records rehashing the old best with new tracks to keep the new fans interested and the old fans buying new order because we probally wont be getting anything for a while

will i buy it

NO

Maybe now the band are back together they should re-record all the tracks for a best of, like they did with some of substance.

Perfect Kiss wouldn't be on there then :(

This would never, ever work for New Order, but I was really impressed by Oingo Boingo's "Best of..." set. The band got the track listing together and then recorded all the tracks live on a soundstage (not in front of an audience). The result: nice, pristine, new versions of all the songs.

Like I said, it would never work for the Order.

If I did buy it, then I will have exchanged money for something that has "World In Motion" on it.

Duh.

excellent idea! i think it would work for most bands but not NEW ORDER in answer to my own question YES i would buy it, just hope theres summat different on there

The only logical step left is for the Order to do what KISS did in 1978 -- release four simultaneous "solo" records with each member's face on a black cover...the black-and-white makeup wouldn't hurt either.

You know you'd buy them all.

you'd best be careful then, Shugzy...word is, the Oosaka Beckham Supporters' Club is hard at work making him origami cranes in the hopes that he'll get better soon! :D

...though i s'pose in truth he doesn't have to be able to stand up in order to rap...

It would have to have at least one thing I dont have on a cd, it's as simple as that.

The current policy of releasing re-packaged Greatest Hits for most record companies is to include 1 or 2 new tracks as well as a few remixes. The recent Soft Cell compilation was superb. Digitally Remastered with a few rare versions, album tracks and remixes thrown in. There's also a good possibility that the complilation will be released on DVD which would be great for everyone.

Originally posted by Spotnick That would be a very good idea to be "The best of NO/JD", and that was the story behind "20 Years of New Order"...But seriously, with that in mind... the tracks would be, in no particular order..01. Atmosphere02. Love Will Tear Us Apart03. Transmission04. She's Lost Control05. New Dawn Fades06. Temptation07. The Perfect Kiss08. True Faith09. Bizarre Love Triangle10. Crystal11. Regret12. Here To Stay13. Blue Monday14. Turn My Way (you know me!)15. Round & RoundIn fact, it would be seriously nice to have new studio versions of the 5 first ones recorded by New Order, but that, I'll keep dreaming.

I'm sure London Records feel no need to include JD tracks on this upcoming disc.

I cant see how no 'best of compilation' can possibly be complete without a representation of material from all of their albums.

A couple of studio board quality live "bonus" tracks would infinatly preferable to some half baked remixes as well ;)

My tracklisting for best of:

Ceremony

Age Of Consent

Blue Monday

Leave Me Alone

Regret

Your Silent Face

Sub-Culture (lowlife version)

Sunrise

Everythings Gone Green

Elegia

Bizzare Love Triangle

Temptation (87 mix)

Crystal

True Faith (original)

I generally dont like "best of's" as i tend to prefer album tracks which often arent generally regarded as "best of" and thus wouldnt be particually good marketing sense to release.

Still who gives a xxxx i just make my own compilations and save my money ;)

Remixes... Is that some kind of sick joke.

Id buy a car then Id buy the disc, like munkey I`d need somewhere to throw it.
