OK, I know there's a couple of people still waiting for tapes (very very busy at the moment organising the last pre-wedding bits ! - fear not, they'll be with you soon), but here's a special contest with one prize only.
The prize is a tape of debut songs from 1980-85.
The question is :
Which member of New Order's entourage has produced tracks on a Fall album ?
Answers to my e-mail address please. First correct answer past the post gets the prize ! Best of luck to all.
Am I allowed to enter this one Benny??? Here's another question - which Fall bandmember is connected with the production of a New Order album? Benny, you should get that one... so let the others have a crack at it first.
Believe it or not, nobody has actually given me the answer I was looking for yet ! I'm looking for a current member of the New Order entourage who has produced tracks on a studio Fall album. They are both alive and still working with New Order.
So I didn't get it? 
Well, my answer was a link between the Fall and New Order..
Rex Sargeant
He did work as a technician on 60 Miles An Hour as well as produced a couple of Fall's albums..
Oh well... :(

Hehe - part of the lyric to "Guest Informant" is "Baghdad Space-Cog Analyst". Dian Barton produced Guest Informant on the 1988 album "The Frenz Experiment", along with "Bremen Nacht".
Great quiz there Benny, I never would've got that one. Not to be too much of a trainspotter or anything like that 
but the US vinyl copy, on Beggars Banquet/RCA, that I have of Frenz Experiment says "Produced by Simon Rogers, bar 3 songs produced by Grant Showbiz". D. Barton is listed as an engineer though, and it does say that some of the album was recorded in Manchester.
Dian Barton produced the alternative version of Bremen Nacht that appeared on CD copies of The Frenz Experiment, along with Guest Informant - a single B-side that was added to the Frenz CD - and also the version of Mark'll Sink Us that was on the free 7" single which accompanied the Frenz vinyl LP.
Cheers for the info; now I know I never would've gotten that one at all, because the US version had no bonus at all!

You've got me on that one - after 48 hours of brain-racking I still ain't got a scooby !
There an interesting PDF doc on Dian and New Order here - Dian Barton
She still does ACR's sound too - did all their gigs last year and think she's done them for, like, ever, cos she's credited on Live in America as well, which was from 1985.
I think she said her brother actually does the Chemical Brothers as well.
I have Dian to thank for so many blessed setlists over the past couple of years! 
Do you want a hint or the answer? Here's the hint anyway: when I say connected, it was the Fall members spouse (same surname, nothing too obscure).
OK, it was HER husband.
Cheers Al for the DB link, very interesting. She did live sound for the Fall for a couple of years, I think, in the late 80s.

Yep, that's right! Julia worked as assistant engineer on a bit of stuff with Hannett too. She has a few interesting stories to tell. In fact, she was trying to dig out some of Hannett's poetry/prose that she has, over the weekend. Apparently he was pretty good and was planning to publish some of his work in conjunction with Ian Curtis.

Julia was actually in The Fall as a keyboard player too :)
