The main album is definitely the 2015 remaster by Frank Arkwright despite the disc face showing 'Remaster 2019'.
If you have CD-TEXT capable drive on your PC and suitable software... it shows '2015 Remastered Version' next to each song.
Sounds great to me, though. This is the first time the 2015 remaster got a 'physical' issue, to the best of my knowledge.
They were digital only at the time and missed out Get Ready for some reason.

For those interested it looks like digital versions of the remastered 12" singles have hit the usual outlets I.e. iTunes, Spotify, Qobuz... - Ceremony (2019 Remaster)- Everything's Gone Green (2019 Remaster)- Ceremony (Version 2) [2019 Remaster]- Temptation (2019 Remaster)If you take these, add in Procession & Temptation (7") from the 2016 mastering of Singles (also done by Frank Arkwright, presumably around the same time?) you basically have a worthy, consistent additional disc which really completes the Definitive Edition, in my opinion. I haven't listened closely enough yet but don't believe there are any differences between the two IALP on the Ceremony versions; they appear to be the same. Pleased with that, though. To have the remastered 12" in both analogue and digital now... Edited by user 13 April 2019 13:59:03(UTC)

To have the remastered 12" in both analogue and digital now... I guess the only unremastered tracks from this era now then are the 7" versions of 'In A Lonely Place' and 'Hurt' and the alternate 12" of 'In A Lonely Place'. Which version of 'In A Lonely Place' is on the reissued 12 inches and subsequent downloads - the 'Substance' version or original 1st 'Ceremony' flip side? Any of those online stores selling the digital versions in lossless quality?

The most recent mastering of the 'wrong' IALP mix was released on the RSD 12" (we hadn't found the right tape at that point).

They also offer the 2015 remasters in 96kHz/24 bit Hi-Res format, including the one of Movement in the box-set. They're the only digital music store I bother using as most of the others only offer compressed audio. I purchased the 12"es in FLAC format last night and added them into my digital copy of the Definitive Edition; sorted and sounds great... I preformed a quick comparison with the 'fixed' 2009 bonus discs and while they're both good I prefer Arkwright's more recent take on the sound.

The only redeeming features on my copy are FAC 33 A and FAC 33 B etched into the runout groove, along with 'QI' on both sides and 'This is why events unnerve me' on side A and 'How I wish you were here with me now' on side B (all in capitals). I bought this from HMV in November 1990. What led to the original version being remastered and included on the 2nd 12" and digital release in this instance? Cheers.

It took me ages to find one of the 2nd 12"s with that version on, most of the ones available throughout the 80s are the later mix (they have 'Townhouse' in the runout). I think it was a re-cut in the late 80s that brought the mistake into play, around the time of Substance when it was also used.

From what I can gather - the original version (also confusingly referred to as "the later mix") - was on all the original early 80s pressings of both the Green and Cream/Blue editions You say you bought your copy in HMV in 1990 - so this is highly unlikely to be an original pressing - but a later 80's repressing. In fact, from the runout grooves you describe, it's not a pressing that is listed on Discogs. There doesn't appear to be any late 80s pressings listed, I guess because they are hard to identify and only tiny differences. I thought my Cream/Blue pressing was an original, but later discovered it had the Green version of Ceremony on it and was pressed in 1983?! I'd go so far as to say that the later pressings of Cream/Blue with the Substance mix of IALP are potentially quite rare

See what you mean. Don't think I've heard any other version that doesn't have that oddity, so guess it was originally mixed that way. I also note that Senses is finally remastered without the first beat or two missing, which is good to hear. I always wondered if Truth had a beat or two missing at the start too, but it sounds the same on these remasters.

Or do you mean a cream/blue version with the no thunderclap when Hooky's bass kicks in version of IALP and How I Wish You Were With Me Now in the run out but the original green version of Ceremony is quite rare? I've got a headache now.

Well, listening to the remaster of the 12" of Temptation.Kind of have passed this version over for a long time but re-appreciating it now.It was always so unusual and unique as far as 12" versions go, or went back then.I mean the 7" is kind of straightforward in it has the intro, then verse, then chorus, instrumental break, then verse, then chorus and so on.But the 12" didn't simply extend all that, it completely rearranged everything.Yeah it's the same lyrics and mostly same instrumentation as the 7" but it's so completely rearranged.Kind of like a film where you start off and progress through thinking why is that bit there? And what's that bit doing there? What's the thinking in that bit doing in that spot? Why is that part repeated? But then towards the end it all starts to make sense;ah, so that's why that bit was there earlier on, those bits were repeated a few times there... and it all finally makes sense and completely works in the finale.There was method in the madness.Quite genius how they worked out how to not simply extend ithe 7" but completely rearrange it in an extended way and figure out how it all worked towards a cumulative effect.It's all about the cumulative effect.Yes i've had a few drinks.

Yep, the 12" of Temptation is immense.
I was so pleased when I finally got it on CD (on the '1981-1982' reissue, from Canada, I think), back in the mid-90s.
As you said, it is a bit messy, but somehow all comes together and 'makes sense'.
However much I love the 7" and the 1987 version, this is, to me, the ultimate version of one of my favourite songs of all time. Love Barney's vocals in this version; he sounds much more desperate and on the edge.

It's proper headache material! I mean that the cream/blue version which was repressed in the late 80s (post-Substance) with the IALP version that has no thunderclap when Hooky's bass enters - seems to be quite rare I'm basing that on the fact the groove notations you describe are not listed on any edition in Discogs.

There was a recorded interview with Bernard & Steve on Shaun Keaveney’s afternoon show in 6Music today . Was in 2 parts , the first of which I caught a bit of at work but missed a lot it. Caught all the second part and before which Matt Everett did a quick recap of the first part and seem to confirm there will be a lot more box sets to come and also a live album and release of Decades? Can’t rewind and listen again to the show til after it finishes at 4pm so can’t be sure right now of the details recapped just before the 2nd part of interview.

The show available to listen again now https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0004d2hFirst part is at around 43 minutes in and second part around 1 hour 45 mins in. Listened properly again to the first part and turned out there wasn't actually any mention from Bernard and Steve about more box sets or a live album of the Liam Gillick/Synth orchestra collaboration shows and Decades film but the 6Music guy Matt Everett definitely says before the second part of the interview there will be a live album of the Liam Gillick and synth orchestra shows and includes the Decades doc.Somewhere over the 2 interviews Everett seems to say the whole of the back catalogue will be "reappraised"...

Only listened to part 1 so far, but the two of them are in really fine form.
Comparing box sets to coffins
Mark Reeder's comments about terrible hotel rooms and how Bernard doesn't find that comforting
The Copenhagen gig being awful (i'm now going to hunt have to hunt through my collection to see if I have it; '81, '84 or '86, I wonder)
Funny interview.
PS Steve does mention that they wanted to do boxsets of the albums, so I think it's on the cards...
