A Rich Costey instrumental mix of the song was released in 2005 on a CDr promo but the version here is different and based on the original album version.

so most of the tracks aren't anything new.

i've already recreated these promos now, with almost all the tracks.

if you're going to do it, use the remasters, including singles.

you will have to edit down 'here to stay' by 10 seconds, unless they messed up and used the standard 3:57 edit, which is what it should have been.

i didn't bother with the cover songs, although i had 2 of them.

i was hoping it would show up on the internet at some point, or maybe i just missed out.

and for the good stuff, the album instrumental of 'waiting for the sirens call', so here's my attempt:

waiting for the sirens call(album instrumental):

and a dub:

later -1

of course, the rich costey instrumental is still out there somewhere.

so my attempt again:

and a dub:

later -1

and lastly, NO i don't have it, because apparently only 2 people do: https://www.discogs.com/New-Order-Waiting-For-The-Sirens/release/859960

The packaging is very nice. Prices have been all over the place on this, but it doesn't show up often anymore. I remember when it came out, but i wasn't looking to buy anything for the last few years.

sometimes things show up eventually.

I have this too. Still wrapped.

Prices have relaxed a little since initial availability.

Grace Jones was the first artist to cover JD, with her Cuntrol Bside. Before the glut of YouTube, it appeared with a dub on the double Private Life collection. If you want to hear it, don't. It is total and utter shit.

Got it

Love that Destroyer cover of 'Leave Me Alone'. And nice they put Special up on a pedestal...brilliant track.

Mr. Disco wrote: Got it

Utter crud innit? Grace Jones is too soppy and namby pampy for me. More balls, please. The hilarious thing is it's a Shite n Robbie track, like those beyond appaling RIAD disasters. See you after covid, lads?

I have it and I really do ;)

Saw Destroyer play a low-key gig at a local pub here a couple of years ago. Rather brilliant imo though quite on another planet. Which is no bad thing.

Michael Monkhouse wrote: Utter crud innit? Grace Jones is too soppy and namby pampy for me. More balls, please.

Not my cup of tea for sure, but I've found it more ballsy than the majority of JD/NO covers

I was joking. Grace Jones makes Arnold Schwarzenegger look like Baby Spice. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XLLtS50UCBQ That cover just doesn't work though. As a reviewer pointed out, it provides about as much insight into mentale disorder as They're Coming To Take Me Away, HaHa. Give me Mel C and True Faith. Actually, just the first half.

So what was the story with this promo set? I vaguely remember a thread about it on here some years ago , seeing the pics and stuff . Shocked to realise it was nearly 5 years ago though, time flies and all that eh? But what was the reason and timing for its release? Just seemed quite a random thing. No I don’t own a copy and haven’t tried to obtain one. Just trying to get my round what the point of it was. I guess I’m at risk of sounding like sour grapes that I don’t have a copy but that’s really not the case, I’m just curious about the point of it.

Money. That's what I want. Which is why I finally get into a studio and perform someone else's song and sacrifice half the royalties.

A lazy, predictable, and incorrect, answer. Try harder, Michael.

Cash.

Harder, Michael, harder.

As my scout mistress said.

This made me laugh. So thank you both.

Wow, a laugh. That's three more than usual.

Bands release inhouse promos, and company promos as thank you to specific people or for specific events. Nothing more than that. Sure there are anniversary releases.

Look at the tons of special factory promos that are worth a fortune now, flexis, flipbooks, rulers, statues, stationary, and every other thing you can think of.

This is a small time peanuts to put out a limited cd set.

Apparently it got to the right hands, given the fair amount of Hollywood movies and/or ads that featured NO songs (i.e. Blue Monday) in recent years.

I don't think it's specifically connected to that, Mr Disco. What's your first name? New Order have been used on loads of soundtracks. Sometimes they're even relevant. NotAMod is probably right. A lot of artists do in-house bonuses, even McCartney with https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never\_Stop\_Doing\_What\_You\_Love

Agreed... it's a long shot, of course they've been on a lot of soundtracks through the years but there were a lot in the past 3 or 4 years. Ready Player #1, Atomic Blonde and the Wonder Woman trailer come to mind. A coincidence probably, but still...

My name's Paulo.
