Best NO/related purchases ever...

As I said elsewhere, I have a box with Low Life's tape (and all the Perfect Kiss versions as bonus tracks) and pictures of the band, different from the CD or the LP, on postcard format.

Originally posted by Ahmad Daizli 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.

I got that book in Dublin. I've never seen it on sale in the UK anywhere to be honest.

Yes, Seb, that's the one.

I got that book in Edinburgh about 5 years ago. Not a bad book although the author is a touch too enthusiastic for my liking. Always remember that the book came out after Republic, at the time when it looked like New Order would never reform. It ended with the words "Don't worry they'll be back". How prophetic those words were!

Originally posted by Martin Gray 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 FactoryInserts inside (I got one of them the month of release), but this gatefold vinyl one is a rare one indeed.....

Yep, but it was nothing special, I gave it away in the end.

Well my best New Order related purchase leaves all the previously mentioned crap well in the shade, and it did'nt even cost me anything, well not initially although there was lots of 'investment' over the years. My wee dog, who I named Barney after some front man or other from some obscure pop group was THE greatest New Order related purchase ever. That lovely dog, how he trusted and loved me, he was my best pal and he was there all the way from Low-Life to Get Ready. My god Barney must have known the New Order back catalogue every bit as well as me, although he was a lot better at sleeping through it! Anyway folks, my lovely wee dog is gone. Today the doggy angels came and took him away to the great lamp-post in the sky, nearly 18 years old, and one of the longest serving New Order fans around. As I sit here typing this with tears streaming down my face I can't help but think of Barney and all the years we had together and of how he was the greatest New Order related purchase ever!
