The overview of collaborations make a great addition to the site. I was aware of a lot of them, but some are new to me.

I miss one collaboration: in 1985 Barney played guitar on the song The Only Truth by ex-Josef K member Paul Haig. Donald Johnson played drums.

I know this song exist, but I never heard it. Can anyone contribute it to this site?

Found on AllMusicGuide (allmusic.com)

"A couple of 1984 singles were recorded with Cabaret Voltaire and Bernard Sumner before Haig teamed up more significantly with ex-Associate and live associate Alan Rankine. A full album was shelved due to label issues, but the recordings that followed were released as 1985's The Warp of ... "

Funny.. another projet on "Les Disques Crépuscule"...

Yeah, I know. The Only Truth was released on 7" and 12" (http://home.planet.nl/~frankbri/josefdis.html#haigsing). But I never heard the damn song. Did you?

I'll attempt to host it later tonight or tomorrow. It's really rather good....

Let me know, I'm a sample hunter ;)

I can't host it, but I have got it if anyone is interested.

And yes, it is good!

You can always send to to my mail account, I'll sample it.

It's been added to the discography, if anyone find a sleeve for the 7" or 12", or a better sleve for the "Warp of Pure Fun" LP, let me know.. because I got a very very small one!! (for the LP, nothing for the single!)

Here you go:

Paul Haig - The Only Truth 12"

Apologies to modem users, it is quite big.

Pretty good stuff, thanks! I'm always welcome to new stuff (especially anything to do with New Order collaborations ;) )

I always loved this track; it's very like Blue Monday except for the tune. It's unmissably good.
