Best NO/related purchases ever...

I found Movement and Low-life on vinyl, and the original 7 inch of True Faith with 1963, at this record store that was going out of business. Can't remember what I paid overall, but it wasen't too bad, everything was marked down. This was the same store where I got Heart and Soul, Here Are The Young Men, and the RCA "Warsaw" album.

Ordered Joy Division's Atmosphere on Factory US from Rough Trade US, and they threw in a copy of the flexi-disc as well as a couple of badges. More recently, I suppose I would say that I was surprised that I found a US copy of Regret on 7" for 2 dollars. Flipside is the New Order Mix of the song, which is nice, but a bit lightweight.

This is probably no big deal to you guys but Dreams Never End the story of New Order + Joy Division. I bought it a day before the music store closed so I was lucky. I haven't seen this book anywhere else in Sydney so I assume it's pretty rare here.

Have any of you guys seeked out the rare 1995 12" single released by Touch-Tone records of New Order's early - rather intriguingly skeletal-sounding - demo of PC&L centrepiece "5-8-6" entitled "Video 5-8-6" ? It's 22-minutes long with a three minute reprise on the flip. A most unusual - and indeed obscure - release. Who else has got hold of a copy? Are these now rarer than Rocking Horse Shit?

Martin, that's also on CD isn't it?

Just a couple of corrections Marty surely the past tense of seek is sought(have you had a long day?) and the centrepiece of P.C.L. is 'The Village'. It sounds like the ultimate prize for the brain teazer though.

I got that one... Don't know how rare it is though...

Yes. in a limited edition digi-pak. Though all Igot was the 12" vinyl (I usually by all my Order stuff on both formats - CD, 12" and 7" wherever possible - saddo that I am....)

I for one am very fond of 5-8-6 (or is it 5/8/6? or 5*8*6?)

Sorry...my grandmar is failing me in my old cage....yep...that would have been a great prize - shame I don't have a spare copy, otherwise someone would be extremely happy!

or is it 5.8.6 ? ;)

Or maybe 5,8,6?

Or 5+8+6?

Or 5\8\6?

Or 5=8=6?

Or maybe 5 8 6 ?

Or 5 8 6 ?

or 5 8 6 ?

That last one wasn't supposed to look like that.

Heh, allright, I get the point...

"enough is enough is enough..."

:)

No! One more, just one more:

"FIVE* ATE SICK"

(*as in the fucking shite - and now thankfully deceased - boy band who stopped New Order's Get Ready from going Top 5 in the charts)

Anybody managed to get hold of the VERY LIMITED AND RARE Gatefold Sleeved Double 12" vinyl set of "Substance 1987" then? I know the cassette came out in a limited edition white book-bound box with the Factory Inserts inside (I got one of them the month of release), but this gatefold vinyl one is a rare one indeed.....

I got a sticker collection for Technique free with NME

HOW ABOUT THIS BARGAIN....I BOUGHT 2 COPIES!..NOT ONE...BUT 2 COPIES of MARK JOHNSON's book called 'AN IDEAL FOR LIVING-An History Of Joy Division' in a Sydney bookshop for only $5 each..for approx. 1.75 pounds UK....

Has lots of B+W photos but probably those excessive Paul Morley's rants splashed throughout the book that put everyone off..and sent them to bargain bin...

Thieves Like Us 7" All at once - Stockholm Monsters Tell Me - Life (They were all released in the same month) all FREE from our local radio station! I'd been reviewing the week's releases for them.

BTW, the Gatefold Substance was a limited edition of 1000 intended for Factory employees only. I've got a copy but it cost me dear!
