(The shop I went to had both on display FWIW.)
Found a special limited edition one with Morrisey, Marr and Brown on the cover. Bought it anyway 
Think it will take a few more days to arrive here in Brazil. Blame the postman for that, nah Mike? :(

Sorry, I did not buy it twice

Highlights include a cover of Ecstacy by Walls which is pretty moody and strange and a cover of Cries and Whispers by Lonelady (there are bonus tracks too, Lonesome Tonight and Murder feature also). Leave Me Alone by Destroyer pretty good too. Certainly worth a listen anyways. As always with these things pretty hit and miss.
Actually i quite like the cover of Lonesome Tonight even though i suddenly realised it sounds a blt like Coldplay! just try and ignore that!
So the CD is all covers is it? Nothing at all perfomed by the band themselves? Seems a shame. The Japanese 7" of
(if it exists) would have been nice. Oh hang on, Hooky has all those in his wardrobe so he'd probably put a block on that anyway
I couldnt get this issue in WH Smiths in North london today either, so yeah the subscribers appear to have first dibs on this one.
The Japanese 7" of Blue Monday does exist. I have one. I have ripped it to .mp3 if you would like to hear it.
The first one in 2001 was a cracker...

This new one should also be great. Looking forward to hearing the CD when it makes it down under in a month or so.
:D

some new bands to me - only heard three of them before!
I have very little time for these monthly music magazine-curated multi-artist suck ups of other people's albums/back catalogue/whatever. Most of the time (as in 995%), the songs are dreadful pieces of utter tosh.
Remember that Mojo "White Album Revisited" that they gave us a while back that came in TWO PARTS over two months? Can't say I even half enjoyed a single one of those 'reinterpretations'.
They then repeated the stunt with Abbey Road a year later - and that was just as cack.
I would imagine that if they ever came up with one called Crock-a-Dials they would just as likely have a baker's dozen of blessed Bunnymen tunes to desecrate beyond the point of no return: and yep, I wouldn't want to even touch THAT one with a two mile bargepole!
You can sample the whole album here, just scroll all the way down.
Finally got hold of a copy. Not read the main interview yet, read the Hook interview and 'Hiatus' bits. Nice they've got a review of the Troxy gig also. Great pics including the September 2011 rehearsal photos . The picture of them sitting at the kitchen table was originally in Q magazine, circa 1986 if i remember right.
In no rush to listen to the CD though

I don't normally like these things myself but I've found myself really liking some of these, namely: Age of Consent. If I didnt know the band name I would have guessed at Ladytron, though as it happens I like The Golden Filter and was a fan of their "Solid Gold" single in '09. Your Silent Face. I think I saw Fujiya & Miagi at LoveBox festival around 2007. Not actually a duo but a four piece I think. 586 - I saw SCUM at the last Camden Crawl (Electric Ballroom). Not the easiest band to get into, but this is nice, and I strongly reccomend listening to their single SIGNAL-Paris Leave Me Alone. I dont know Destroyer at all but hey, I might just check them out now! i keep coming back to this track.

I picked up the magazine today and it looks like essential reading for your average fan over a good number of pages. Hooky even gets his own right of reply and the interviewer dares to ask risky questions about "the sniping".
Frankly, I'm bowled over to see someone other than bloody Pink Floyd, The Stones, Dylan or The Beatles on the cover of Mojo for once. NO have got to be the first non-60s band I've seen on the cover in years.
The CD sounds alright so far. It's free and it's a great album so I'll approach the reinterpretations with an open mind. Some of them will be shite granted but it might be worth wading through to find that one or two gem.
The covers of The Village and Leave Me Alone are the stand outs from what I've listened to so far. Not listened to the final 2 or 3 yet
Got mine today from Smiths - was hoping to keep it Minty Mint but took the cover mount CD off and it ripped the front cover to shreds ! Be careful how you take yours off.
BTW also noticed Uncut magazine had a feature on the forthcoming Heaven to Heaven book.

was going to say that was a bit harsh but a look at their site shows last years cover artists as

I'm not usually a fan of covers, but this album is excellent, nice to get other folks takes on your favourite album of all time. Some/most are better than some of the existing official remixes of New Order singles.....the article is comprehensive and interesting, not the usual rehash of well hackneyed stuff.
Hooky's response is interesting, if a little sad. I feel sorry that he has isolated himself into a corner in this way.
Listening to the cover of The Village last night certainly stirred long forgotten thoughts, feelings and emotions of those first few weeks and months listening to Power, Corruption & Lies in Autumn 1983 and being blown away by this new music and Saville's sleeve. Funny, it refreshed all those memories whereas the actual NO original hadn't done that for me in many many years.Guess that's one good thing about cover versions, they can make a song reborn almost and take you right back to first hearing the original.
This magazine won't be out here in the States for a good month, right?
I cannot wait to read the article...they talk about Bernard's solo album in it?
Read something a year or two back where the writer was kind of saying the Power, Corruption & Lies era was almost like a new Psychedelia in a way with the flowers on the sleeve and lyrics like "Our love is like the flowers" , or a nod back to Psychedelia but looking forward still.Kind of thought yeah there's something in that yeah

Think there's a bit about him and Stuart Price but not saying much more really than it's still a work in progress "a 20 year project"

They did do the Joy Division issue with Ian Curtis on the front back in 2005. Still got the issue .It was a really long feature, 18 pages. longer than NO feature in this latest issue. Took me a fair wedge of one Saturday afternoon to read it all .
Oh and they had Curtis on the front again in 2007 when Control came out. 16 pages for that one.
Great to see NO on the cover of a mag again. My favourite ever album covered by some intersting artists. All have done a good job, really enjoying listening to it.
Intersting point from Mr Morris in the article is that they haven;t done any Techique tracks yet and there are some pretty good tracks on that album (understatement or what) so it looks promising they are going to revisit or their albums.
I think they could release a EP of old tracks re-done in the summer to wet our appetities and an album out end of 2013, i think they will do one more.

That store on that corner sells the magazine in Manhattan. He told me that he will put away 5 copies for me on the side once he gets it.
