29 Jun 2003, 10:09

Ceremony when it came out, from Ace Records, Islington High Street. Long since closed sadly.

29 Jun 2003, 10:14

1981-1982 EP of Tempatation, Hurt, Everything's Gone green, Procession, and what was called Mesh ... early 1983 i think. In was in the Joy Division bin at the indie record store, so i bought it. I had not even heard of Ian yet.

29 Jun 2003, 12:03

Ceremony, April 81, cause it took a couple of weeks or so to appear over here.

29 Jun 2003, 12:17

first was confusion 12", lovely! next was "the perfect kiss" and then it goes on and on...

29 Jun 2003, 12:27

Republic, used at $7.00, then Movement about six months later....

29 Jun 2003, 12:30

Substance 1987 double cassette. :D

Very quickly followed by everything I could lay my hands on by Neworder, followed by Joy Division.

29 Jun 2003, 12:44

Bright Lights Big City soundtrack...

Then it has to be Substance or Electronic, not sure which one came first :D

29 Jun 2003, 15:47

Ditto. Heard it at school, and then on John Peel's show. Went out to buy it right away. Never looked back.

29 Jun 2003, 17:17

substance cassette (sometime in late 1987-early 1988). the single cassette--didn't see the double one. :(

29 Jun 2003, 17:54

Some obscure track called Blue Monday, you may have heard of it, in April 1983.

29 Jun 2003, 18:31

Blue Monday ...1983

30 Jun 2003, 00:13

Substance, but I bought it around 1989, and soon after I bought Technique and I think the first 12" single I bought was Round & Round, at HMV.

30 Jun 2003, 02:19

get ready....at hmv.:D

30 Jun 2003, 02:19

SNAP! well nearly!! i got the double cassette, in fact i never saw the single cassette!! :lol:

1 Jul 2003, 03:07

Blue Monday, late 1983 (bought it for the funny looking cover) and the Factus 8 e.p.

1 Jul 2003, 04:14

Blue Monday December 1983, although I had bought Love Will Tear Us Apart in the November.

1 Jul 2003, 12:48

Although I had several NO songs downloaded onto my computer, I still bought the US version of (the best of), which was kind of disappointing. A few months later, I bought Low Life and was more satisfied - especially since I didn't need to skip over any tracks like "Fine Time" and "Run."

1 Jul 2003, 13:10

Unknown Pleasures, spring 1988, from a street seller at the Flower Square. First strictly NO record was Low-Life in Graz a few months later.

1 Jul 2003, 13:11

My first was Substance in 1987 when I was 13. I heard True Faith on the local top 40 radio station and went straight to the local "Wherehourse Records" store to buy anything with that song. It really was a life-changing experience. I promptly dumped all the Duran Duran and INXS records in a drawer where they remain til this day. I consumed all the New Order albums in reverse order within a few months except Movement which only made sense to me after I listened to Joy Division.

1 Jul 2003, 23:40

Substance double-LP

2 Jul 2003, 00:59

The Perfect Kiss 12" about 1/2 hour after hearing it on college radio and deciding that it was the best damn thing I'd ever heard.

This was also the 1st vinyl I ever bought!

2 Jul 2003, 01:33

Perfect Kiss for me as well. Heard the last half on radio, thought it was great. Soon after Low-Life and PCL.

2 Jul 2003, 03:50

PCL was purchased when I was a youngster of 13 back in 1988.

2 Jul 2003, 16:50

Bizarre Love Triangle QWEST 12" was the first item i purchased by NewOrder. Had copied the Substance Cassettes earlier, then found the 12"....not an easy task in rural Louisiana.

2 Jul 2003, 16:56

first actual purchase: *cringe" republic *cringe* $4.99 in the used section of Lou's Records in Encinitas, Ca in 1998. everything prior to that i had copied from my (much) older brother in-law when i was 12.

3 Jul 2003, 01:15

Ceremony but in 1983

3 Jul 2003, 15:33

Substance in January 2000, closely followed by Technique and then almost all the other albums (except Movement).

3 Jul 2003, 16:29

It saddens to say me but...

World in Motion in 1990.

The excuse being it was the world cup and i was six.

We all started somewhere - don't worry about it!

my first new order release was (the best of) new order, bought from vinyl exchange in manchester. i was 15 at the time, and i paid £8 for it (it's imported too, which made me happy).

after that, the collection has grown and grown.

5 Jul 2003, 15:47

movement-and still think its an under-rated album(1981)
