Ceremony and Temptation 7" MP3s now up for downloading

As promised, here's the first two MP3s. I'll make another poll and change them in a few weeks, so get them while you can.

I'm not sure how to do links, so just highlight the text and press ctrl + c, then copy it into the address bar with ctrl + v. Works for me... If anyone knows how to do links, feel free to put one up.

Thanks for that. BTW, did everyone have trouble with that gold sleeve marking badly? I'd love to see a cling-filmed copy. PS, how do I lose this huge avatar? I've tried uploading a smaller one, honest! Help me webmaster!

These versions are much better than the previous versions that I've come across on the Internet. Thank you very much, you're doing all of New Order fandom a huge favor with your efforts!

Thanks heaps, Low life - great stuff! CTB

thanks! now i get to find out why people make such a big deal about the temptation 7"

thanks so much, low life!

cheers!!

your no low-life in my book...thanks a bunch

All of your thanks is welcomed and appreciated. I would have put up some more tracks, but I'm limited to 10MB on my webspace. I'll make sure to make another poll at the end of this month.

If any one has any essential songs to contribute, you can email them to me at lowlife81@earthlink.net and I'll add them to the poll. Right now I'm trying to hunt down good MP3s of "Rocking Carol" and "Ode to Joy". Those would be nice to put up for Christmas.

Instrumentals would be groovy too.

How about the original vocal demo of "Let's Go" (mid 80's), that would be a good one

I've been searching for that track for awhile. I almost had it the other night, but the guy I was waiting to download it from went offline.

Isn't that version on the "1963" box set? I noticed that the tracks is a few seconds shorter than the "best of" version and it doesn't have "nothing for me" in the title. I remember seeing the "1963" box a year ago at a record shop, but I didn't know if it was worth getting. Now, of course, the record store closed down, so there goes that.

Thanks mate. Good listens!!

THANKS VERY MUCH!!! As a novice collector of NO, and having been into the band only about 2 yrs, I would love to be able to assemble the kind of collection that most of the older NOOLs always talk about on here. I would like to request that some of the NOOLs who have these vast collections do this type of thing more often and make songs available for everyone to download. Maybe even a different section on the site apart from the Audio Archives. Took me about 10 seconds at work to download these. Thanks much man!!!

excellent! i havent heard the 7" version of Ceremony in ages, forgot how damn good it is!

thanks for the files

Many thanks - the 7" of Ceremony particularly is a joy to hear.

:) :) :)

Thanks low-life. Your version of Temptation was vastly superiour to the one I had. Cheers mate!!

Good one, low-life. Haven't heard the 7" Temptation since I gave mine away in 1986. Don't suppose you've got the Western Works demo from Sept 1980? Has my favourite 'lost' NO track on it (Homage). I've got it on an old 7" boot, but it's a bit scratchy.

I've hunted for the origins of this song for quite a while. The best I've heard is that it was a demo from the Lowlife sessions and has never been officially released. Maybe that's why the Mp3 version I have is so poor (unless some kind NO fan out there can do better, hint hint).

1963 box set? I assume this was for the remixed single release back from 1995, right?

I found that track on WinMX a few nights ago, but as I was downloading it I decided to sample it. It was unlistenable. The song just sounded like muffled bass and static. I had other downloads going, so I ended up not getting it. I'll keep an eye out for it though...

Yeah, there's a song on that white 1963-95 boxed single that's simply titled Let's Go. Is it any different than what's on the Salvation soundtrack or US version of The Best Of?

Hang on a minute... Listening to this, there must be 2 mixes of the 7" (and no, I don't mean this mp3 and the 12" Ceremony from Substance...). A previous one I've downloaded this song in the past, and the guitar's cranked up loads (especially towards the end, a real mesh of Hannett-created noise. Beautiful noise, mind.) What's the deal? Is one the original version released on 7" and the other the one that was mispressed and released as a 12"?

Same for me. Thanks a lot.
