New Order Tapes
Part 12
 
More collected flotsam and jetsam from various New Order tapes collected by myself and others over the years.
 
The first three tracks comprise Section 25's first Peel Session from January 1981, featuring "Hit", "One True Path", and "Babies In The Bardo".  This can be viewed on Youtube, here, courtesy of Vibracobra23...


The next two tracks are also fairly common, the first of which was their 1984 BBC "Top Of The Pops" Blue Monday performance, where they famously chose not to mime, only to find that their single sank afterwards, but other groups would then go up to them and apologize to them for faking it!

Was recently spotted that New Order themselves (on the neworder Youtube account) are now sharing these in pristine broadcast quality.
 
Originally broadcast 31st March 1983:

As a bonus, they also shared Thieves Like Us, on the 3rd May 1984  (note: this wasn't on any of the filler I'm presenting, but if located, I'll add it):


The second of these is "Love Dance", commonly mis-attributed to New Order, but really done by a London outfit called The Bridge.  This is the longest "Love Mix":


Anyway they would go in a more indie, dream-pop direction with their Firestation Records material, of which I own 2013's "Face Down Everyone Looks The Same" comp, but not the one released in 2015 called 'What Does It Take To Make You Love Me?"

Here's "Shame Is A Girl" from 1986...which really sounds like it could have been a Magic Bullets tune from the late '00s...

 

Even more true with the b-side of their 1986, called "The Loveless" (anticipating the New Order song three years later)... 


Amazingly, there are a couple of live tracks videoed at the Mean Fiddler in London, filmed 16 June 1986...if the dating on the vid itself can be believed...


Moving right along, we then run into a cover of Public Image by Public Image Ltd. and another song called "You're The Best Baby", looks like both of which were recorded live.  The artists for both of these is unknown and sound like the same band to me.

And lastly, a few tracks that comprise unplaced 1984 era soundcheck material by New Order.

The first of these is a bit of The Perfect Kiss, under 2 minutes.  Completely unknown source.

The last two tracks were found on a tape with a recording of Uni Mensa in Dusseldörf from 30 March 1984 (the insert depicted is for illustration purposes, unfortunately the tape I have of this doesn't include these tracks), which also included the 20 August 1984 Margate soundcheck...continuing with a rudimentary run through The Perfect Kiss, and then some unknown drum and guitar noodling, individually tracked.  Thanks to perspexorange for sourcing these, hoping we can identify them.

The last five tracks (along with the others) are available below:

FLLR DAT-01 - A Box of DATs

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 -------
