FLLR 007 - New Order tapes (part 1)

New Order tapes
Part one of unknown

This is filler from a bunch of New Order tapes provided to my friend GaoBest from whom we've dubbed "UKBT".  One in an interminable series of these, gathered up from various tapes which the less said about, the better.  Loose lips sink ships.


A picture of  Tower Ballroom in Birmingham, which was shuttered in 2016 for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is inability to pay their taxes.  This cover was dragged out for their manager Rob Gretton's birthday.




Don't know too much about Caesar's Palace in Bradford.  Lovely version of "Face Up" from that location.  Lyrics are still fairly free-form, which I've transcribed...


Sung by Slim, one of New Order's roadies, ripping off what Bobby O had ripped out earlier from them, though Blue Monday itself nicks from numerous tracks too many to recall.


Brief MTV special discussing Joy Division and New Order.

Here's a video of the 1986 version.




FLLR007 - 05 'Veronica's Countdown' Steve and Barney

Looks like a copy from the archive masters has shown up via "Reelin' In The Years".
The above is from the broadcast interview...



FLLR007 - 06 Thieves Like Us - interview 'Pop Electron' 25-5-84

"Barney the eternal schoolboy with the military haircut. Hooky the individualist with long curly hair and a full beard right smack in the middle of New Wave/New Romantics era. One of the biggest electronic-oriented bands ever and yet the drum "machine" is none other than the very human Stephen Morris! What a great band in their prime...and full of irony and dry humor. Crap lyrics with a bassline that you couldn't get out of your head. Then a verse of pure lyrical genius out of nowhere. Ah, the memories! Thanks <3" (Justin Silas, in the YT thread)

FLLR DAT-01 - A Box of DATs

-
Image
My project for this part of the year is to transfer a huge cache of DATs (pictured above) that contain much that likely has already been put out there but also seems to have quite a bit that has not. So of course here at tapefiller.org the whole point isn't to present these (they will go through the usual channels) but instead, anything that wasn't listed on either the spine or in an insert, grouped in digestible bites of songs. So without any further ado, here's the first set. Nirvana - Return Of The Rat (The Wipers) .   The description can tell it to you better than I can... looks like the taper/compiler had a copy of the Eight Songs For Greg Sage and the Wipers comp. Hole - Over The Edge (The Wipers) [cut] It's probably not becoming to give any credence to any conspiracy theories about Kurt's passing but let's just say reading about the possibilities did pass the time for me one warm summer nearly 30 years ago...Amusing to see the guy still at it...though

FLLR 003 - New Order + ACR bits and bobs

Our third post in, and we have a bunch of miscellaneous, simply -lovely- Factory filler for you. New Order end their Saturday Live performance (which otherwise won't feature here, you can readily find this on YouTube) with a tease of Smokey Robinson's "My Girl" - A1 Then the band, appearing in an MTV Tokyo interview when they played Japan in February of 1987, talk about some of their quite innovative and remarkable music videos - A2 A3  - Then the video mix of 'Confusion' is featured, which you can hear here (hear hear!) Or you can watch the actual video, which Warners has generously (to make a few dollars from their catalog) shared online. What struck me when I first saw this video (on the Substance 1989 video compilation) is that you could clearly see the name of the person featured getting ready to go to the show, at about 1:25 in, as this clip coveniently reveals.  ALISE BITIC.   And incredibly enough, here she is today, now

FLLR 016 - New Order Tapes (part 10)

 New Order tapes part 10 of unknown. This tape was the source of a gigographical inaccuracy introduced in late November 2001 with the insertion of "In A Lonely Place" (known in taping circles as Little Boy ) into the setlist.   This can be documented here, via looking at the New Order gigography, referred to as "Waterrat", as that was the name that site maintainer Anthony Leal used for his domain,  the version on archive from 10/7/2001 on the old Waterrat NO gigography only lists 10 tracks, comparing it to the version on there from 12/18/2001 on Waterrat's site. shows the addition of Little Boy, which interestingly enough, was added between "Confusion" and "Age Of Consent", not where it is situated here, where it is (appropriately enough) inserted as tape filler to round out Side A.  The notes I maintain as to when a listing was updated also fall in line with the change caused by the appearance of this tape. version 1.44.4  11/26/01 -------
