What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.IX)

Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2013

With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread.  I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.

Hi Matt

 

Agreed.  And in the early Y2K, much fun live. I first saw them as openers for Jerry Joseph in small club shows.  They have earned success through hard, hard work over the years.

 

good listenin'

Hi Tony

 

"Ceremony" and "IALP" are both JD songs (JD performed the former for the first and only time at their last gig) but this is a New Order recording. It's Bernard Sumner singing, not Ian, although IC wrot the lyrics.

 

That "blue stripe" version has Gillian playing on it and is a re-recording from early '81.

 

The "green" sleeve was recorded when NO were a trio back in 1980 - I actually think it's a better version.

On original vinyl (and without the big red EMI Classics log on the cover!)

 

A sublime listen for a lazy Sunday morning. The only version of this I've heard, but I suspect one of the best? :-
