What are people's experiences with the NO store like? I finally plumped for the Movement box set a week ago but the status seems to permanently be 'packing', not dispatched, and they don't reply to messages. Not impressed.

I had a bit of an issue with the 'Closer' package. But that was mainly due to the courier used (Royal Mail). They seemed to dispatch in time (or, at least, that's what it said on their website). It just took about a week to get here.

I must be a glutton for punishment, as I've ordered PC&L through them. Fingers crossed that, due its price, they'll opt for a better courier.

I can't recall any major issues with the NO store but i struggle to remember what i bought from there and what i bought from Amazon.Think i bought the Music Complete vinyl box set from NO store back in 2015 and it arrived on time although i think it was delayed because of production issues rather than a problem with the NO store's delivery.Same i think with the People On The Highline limited edition 7" picture disc in 2016, delayed because of production issues rather than the NO store's delivery.

Think i bought the Ceremony green sleeve reissue in 2019 through the NO store and it arrived on time.

Oh and every Christmas i keep meaning to buy some of those New Order Christmas tree baubles but never get round to it.If they're available again this Christmas i really must try and grab some from the NO store.

I didn't think to check this.

That book is superb! One of my favourite New Order items I own.

Yeah - it seems likely that Dec taped this.



Dug my copy of Heaven To Heaven out and have been re-reading a lot of it over the last day or two.Don't think i'd even looked at it for a number of years.Incredible book. those transcripts of Dec talking to the band in the dressing room after many gigs in the early 80s i found a great read again.

Hadn't remembered but his transcripts of between song banter from Barney and Hooky at the Kilkenny gig i now realise some parts were edited out of the Radio 1 broadcast.Wonder if they'd they've made it onto the DVD???....

Fantastic book and i by chance met Dec outside the Birmingham Ballroom 29.04.2012 gig when i was in the queue.He was giving flyers out for his book and when i realised it was him i told him i already had a copy of his book and was honoured to tell him what an amazing piece of work he'd created with Heaven To Heaven.

I once asked Dec, via Facebook, if he'd ever thought of publishing 'From Heaven To Heaven' as an eBook.
He said he'd like to do it, but it wasn't in his immediate future.

I would love to be able to read the book on my iPad. The physical tome is hefty, so not ideal for bedtime reading. Also, I'm a little scared of damaging it.

I think it would be good for it to get a digital release, as there must be a load of fans who've never seen this glorious book.

Yeah it's a pretty heavy book, physically i mean obviously.I struggle at times also to read some of the text, don't know if it's the text is small in places or if it's because it's black on grey in some parts (the dressing room transcripts bits) and my eyesight isn't the best.Have to illuminate the text with the light on my phone at times to read it clearly.Maybe an ebook version would be good so i could zoom in more.How many copies were there printed? My signed copy by Dec "To John.The coolest of road trips! Best, Dec" also has the numbered sticker in bottom right stating it's number 542 out of 750.Were there only 750 copies printed? Or is that 750 figure just the number of signed copies Dec did? I know there was an earlier limited edition run with a silver(?) cover and some different pics from the version that i have and that copies were printed in a larger amount of the version i have.So if it reaally was only 750 copies made then yes, there must be a lot of fans who don't have a copy.

Wow , Gideon Coe on 6Music just now played one of the versions of Thieves Like Us from the box set. Think he said it’s one of the writing session ones. Only a couple of minutes long but sounded great. Quite funky and slightly different bass sequencer (?) backing driving the track along . Same synth melody as released version but a different synth sound. Was played about 1 hour 35 mins into the show.Think you can rewind the live show on BBC Sounds right now or on catch up after the show finishes at midnight.

So just 2 minutes long, from 1hr33 to 1hr35. Not as good as the finished article, but a nice bit of fan-bait. I imagine if you're outside the uk you need a VPN. Anyway here's a link:

I quite liked it.Promising ideas in it, much but not all of which made it to the final cut.It had a much funkier feel than the finished version, especially the bass synth/sequencer thing whatever the technical name is.And interesting to hear the intro without any Hooky bass.

Gideon Coe seemed to say the demo was from 1982 so either he got the year wrong or NO actually had ideas and a demo for the song as early as that???.....

It's not uncommon for a band to sit on a song idea for a while until something clicks. One of the first songs Pet Shop Boys wrote was Jealousy, which didn't appear until their 4th studio album (and was their 17th "proper" single).

Are any of the box set versions of 'Thieves' recorded with Arthur Baker present? He's down as a co-writer, but the single version doesn't seem to have been produced by him. Wondered if there's a version they made with him?

Oh absolutely, of course.I've read many times of bands or artists recording a song they wrote years ago or many albums before.I just always assumed New Order though didn't start to create ideas for Thieves until sometime into 1983.But maybe the box set details will tell us.

Yes, and that demo is on the box (New York demo #1). They started TLU with Arthur at the same time as doing Confusion in NY, hence co-writer. Once they came back with this very stripped down idea they reworked it into the track you know. The one played on the radio is part of that rewriting process.

This sounds really interesting and am looking forward to hearing it.

I'm glad that Arthur was involved with the song from the start.

I've always thought it was a bit odd for Stephen Hague to have a writing credit for 'True Faith', 'World In Motion' etc., when it seems that he only got involved during the recording process.
At least with Baker, it does appear that he was pretty heavily involved in the germination of the song.

I'm not trying to diminish the important role of the producer, but I'm just not sure how much 'writing' Hague did on the songs he's credited on.

Really interesting - looking forward to hearing these. Johnny, a couple of previous questions reposted that you may have missed earlier in this thread:

The Beach was missing some edit sections that should have been inserted, that includes the outro bit.

Are these sections that were edited into the original 12" version of 'The Beach' included in the 'Instrumental Outtake' version on the Definitive Edition, or was there another version of 'The Beach' mixed down (a bit like how the released 'Thieves Like Us Instrumental' is a combined edit of two different mixdowns)? If there were two different mixdowns of 'The Beach', which was was "Take 1", and which "Take 2"?

Having heard this longer drum intro on the Collector's Edition CD2, it made me wonder why they clipped the start on the original 12" version, as the unedited version has drums that start on the beat - whereas the 12" starts on an offbeat and always felt like it kind of 'tripped over' into the beat a little when it started. Wonder why they removed those first few seconds originally?

Cheers!

It's just a whole take, no extra bits edited into it. The bits were along the lines of added FX, so I guess they're not there on this one. I can't remember which take was what without searching about.

I've no idea, we just wanted to recreate the original. A question for Steve I reckon.
