What has been released on Minidisc format ?

All i can think of from the top of my head is Twisted Tenderness, but there surely must be more... :shrug:

Like the new smilees :smokin: and board features by the way! at this rate we'll have a search function before too long :wink:

I've just searched the HMV website for "Electronic" and there wasn't a listing for an MD version of "Twisted Tenderness". If it was released on MD (and if I remember rightly it was) it seems to have been deleted now although some shops may still have copies in stock.

I very much doubt that any other New Order-related albums were released on MD because they were released by record companies that either did not release anything on MD (London Records used to be distributed by Polygram/Universal which didn't release anything on MD) or only released a very small number of titles (Warners, who now distribute London Records, did release a small number of albums on MD eventually). MD players sold fairly well and blank discs are widely available but pre-recorded MDs never really took off and only a few shops stocked them (and those that do probably regret buying them and want to get rid of the ones they've got so you may find TT at a bargain price).
