FLLR031 
New Order Tapes
Part 13

In homage to this... FAC321, the numbering for New Order's "Perfect Kiss" video...


 
The first bit is some distorted classical music likely left as part of a type being recycled for live music capture.

The next song is "In The First House", by Leeds UK outfit Circus Of Fools, whom journo / writer / NO tape trader Dave Simpson drummed for, not to be confused with the German death metal group founded in 2006.   
 
These demos would be circulated at the ends of tapes he would copy out during the 80's, hopefully to be appreciated in the far distant future, which would be now in fact.  There's otherwise next to no information about them online, besides what Dave himself has told me directly, that they went through a couple of singers....with this track I think featuring their first...

This is followed by a live track of Frankie Goes to Hollywood playing "Relax", recorded at the Ritz in NYC by a taper known as DT, at least as best as I've been able to gather...  Here's an NY Times article about the show, which while liking the more Hi-NRG numbers, wasn't exactly complimentary toward the frontman.

"That was a thing of beauty", indeed, nicked from a live New Order recording in homage to the departed Ruth Polsky, a topic to explore for another time.  Read Hooky's Substance - Inside New Order if you wish to learn more...a group that gave Led Zepplin a run for their money for debauchery and whom Sex Pistols / Public Image frontman Lydon famously claimed did more drugs than the Grateful Dead.

Next we have a trio of Ramones songs recorded on the Tomorrow Show, dating from 9/11/1981, but not with Tom Snyder but a lady guest host who probably has little gabba gabba hey for what she's in for.
 
The full thing is up on YouTube here, with the quality on there being much better than my second-gen recording I have...  These are "We Want The Airwaves", "I Wanna Be Sedated", and "The KKK Took My Baby Away"


This is followed by a couple of CCR tracks from the Ed Sullivan show in 1969.

A writeup about this can be seen here, on the Ed Sullivan show website.
This links to a 40 second sample of "Down In The Corner", which you can view here:


I'm sure there's a pricey DVD out there or whatever thing whoever produced this wants to sell you with the rest of it, but if you're not wanting to hunt it down, you can just make do with this tape filler, which is also a second-generation dub, all available in the link 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 038 - New Order (side project) Tapes (part 17)

  Well, some of the filler isn't from New Order, per se , but since it's still New Order related I won't alter the numbering scheme. The first few tracks were from the heralded return of New Order, after a five year absence where all the members went onto their various side projects, with varying degrees of commercial and critical success.   I figure most of the members by then were running on fumes so it was not a moment too soon when they all got back together again.  Unfortunately, Gillian's newly born daughter had health issues so going into the 21st century, she ended up being having to suspend her participation, at least until Grace's condition improved and/or was managed (I don't know any intimate details) Regret 'TFI Friday' (27 Nov 1998) Temptation - Commonwealth Games, Albert Square 21 Sep 1998...with full intro, which I haven't seen before.  This was taped live from Malaysian TV.  New Order introduced...or at least prefaced...by royalty.
