At The Midnight Shift this Saturday night for Bearracuda. I'm on first, starting at 9 (I think - maybe 10).

I'm here in Sydney now...spent the day in Newtown and down at the Harbour. :)

Thanks! But of course, these were only possible thanks to your wonderfully generous and enterprising spirit, to which I must salute you sir! :)

Why not start uploading New Order studio recording tracks individually so remixers can start doing their stuff...? Fuck the other MCR shit. And, let it be said that 50Quid's work on Recycle is worthy of a Knighthood.

All of that stuff is coming, and thank you.

My involvement with Extra Track is strictly the artwork. I didn't choose the project - it chose me.

That said, there are any number of bands whose single I want to tackle: Nitzer Ebb at the top of the list, The Cure, Meat Beat Manifesto, Dead Or Alive.

My compatriot over at Extra Track wants to tackle REM but he doesn't have the artwork, and there's no fan resource like Vulgar Picture.

Nitzer Ebb's Belief and Showtime would sound great given your stellar treatment

Belief yes, Showtime..hmmm...how about that total age??

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!! Why am I just discovering this now! Damn it... I need to stop lurking and being more active!!

Jeb, if you are ever in NYC let me know. I'll treat you to Peter Luger's!!!! So much for discovering new music. I'm gonna have these stuck on my ipod for months now!!!!

Okay - after some delay, I have finally got round to getting pics of the RECYCLE BOX that contains all of the CD singles. The idea was TOTALLY inspired by the bright shade of yellow that is used by the Hacienda ..... and of course, the associated Factory books (including the recent Peter Hook one "How Not To Run A Club").

And yes, it's an exercise in minimalism in keeping with the whole FAC[T] ethic - note, NO HELVETICA FONT ANYWHERE TO BE SEEN (it's Gill Sans, coincidentally the one used in the Peter Hook "Hacienda" book)

For those who want the technical details: it measures 13.5 cm wide by 13.5 cm tall, and is 6.3 cm thick. The main box is constructed of polyboard at a thickness of 0.7 mm and of a weight of 600 gsm. The outer sleeve with the title printed in black is constructed from textured card of a weight of 360 gsm and then plastic film sealed by hand on the exterior surface for protective reasons.

The photos don't really do the box much justice as they were taken indoors and look a tad murky...sorry that I couldn't get any natural daylight here, but hopefully it's still good enough.

So, what do people think?? Would you buy this product if you saw it in the shops?? :)

Superb.I love the BOX better than the music.

By eck, By Eck.That looks smart

That box is a mighty beautiful thing. Let us know when you start taking orders!

Ask money from Rhino, we pay you for packaging and everything's gonna be allright then.

Hello Mr £50, when shall we enjoy listing to more Recycle?

There's some new activity over at Recycle, including the Record Store Day 12".

Nice....haven't used my copies yet.Thanks for the effort.

nice indeed! thanks for sharing!

Over at The Power Of Independent Trucking, Mr. Analog Loyalist has made Joy Division's April 1980 rehearsal tapes available in a lossless format. These are full takes of Ceremony and In A Lonely Place.

Downloaded this little lot last night... Lovely to hear some mixes and versions for the first time in ages... Having been away from here for a while, it's nice to be reminded of why NO were so special, especially having originally wandered back because of Hellbent & The Light... Massive thanks and respect to those who have undertaken this whoel project and shared it all with us...
