Nit-pickers of the world unite....

Lets start a section specially for all the nitpickers or trainspotters amongst New Order fans....Marco, where are you..?

Let me start mine...

UK TEMPTATION 12" Embossed lettering - I have 2 copies of this but they are 'slightly diferent' from each other... one has a wee bit larger and fatter embossed lettering of the title 'TEMPTATION' and 'HURT FAC 63' while the other is also embossed but the font looked slightly different, smaller and thinner and with a bit of serif in it.... Spotnick or anyone, do you know the story behind this?

I have this too, with the labels on the wrong sides of the vinyl. Was this a regular occurrance with pressings, or have I something rare?

i'm here, but why nitpicker? Did i miss something?

Any article, release or credits that list "Bernard Summer"

theres been a few i'll have to root em out!!

Marco wasn't it you who was forever correcting everyone with their "edits/versions of Temptation" queries? Or was it The Perfect Kiss? Anyhow, I think The Beagle is just having a laugh with you over your attention to detail.

Mind you, most of us here have our own trainspotting quirks, whether it be general collecting, concert-going, equipment, band history, bootlegging or whatever. Don't get me started on the furore surrounding what really appeared on all the international formats of Blue Monday 95, for instance. I'll prove the Ivarsson discography wrong if it's the last thing I do...

;)

Yeah, thanks, Depthy......phew... ...didnt mean in a nasty way, Marco...sorry.....Thought you are more a trainspotter than a nitpicker coz I vaguely remembered your queries about Temptation song credits, etc...recently....

That was me? i don't think so! Anyway...i bought the "20 Years Best Of" only for the David Kahne-Mix of "60 mph". If that's nitpicking, i'm guilty

I have a vinyl 12" of temptation, but the sleeve is that of ceremony (green version)! Even weirder, I have a copy of Ceremony which has the 12" temptation sleeve! Are these rare?

My missus has got a Monkees CD case that has Iggy Pop in. Same principle.

How about my LP of THE NEW ORDER....doesnt feature Barney, Peter, Steven or Gillian on the cover....but instead, featured James Ostenberg's ex-mates.....Is this rare? A misprint?....HAAHAA.....
