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.  Coming on the heels of the World Cup theme.  They had become a part of the musical landscape of the British nation, in a way neither Depeche Mode nor The Cure nor The Smiths/Morrissey  have (to date) achieved....I credit Anthony Howard and his appropriation of "the People's" artwork by Henry Fantin-Latour...

 


And finally from the stalwarts of Manchester, their reformation show at The Apollo...

This is Regret (from Shug, hence the FAC383 logo, for The Vikings)


Heart & Soul from the Apollo isn't up on YouTube, so I substituted the snippet from Ally Pally instead, also from Shug.


And now, switching it up...a Talulah Gosh BBC session, but not by John Peel, as you would expect, but one of the other guys, Richard Skinner.  My recording was captured off air, and the first two tracks are simply not great quality, so if you want to hear these in pristine shape, just purchase the release linked to...





Or click on the image below...



And as this Guardian article claims, Talulah Gosh may have been one of the most overachieving bands in history...and this goes well beyond the musical career of Amelia Fletcher, in Heavenly and beyond...

I also need to pick this up at some point.


In a lovely confluence, Ride members played with Motorcycle Boy vocalist Alex Taylor in a project dubbed "Motorcycle Ride"


Union City Blue


Atomic


Next, the Pixies...again, the exact Futurama Festival performance isn't up on YouTube, but here's one that appears on their 'Death To The Pixies' compilation from the Netherlands...



And keeping to the theme of radio sessions, this ends with some Psychedelic Furs from a mid-1981 BBC session.  As "Pretty In Pink" on here is just the standard release and "All Of This And Nothing" isn't on YouTube, so I won't substitute it, as you can listen to it directly via the link at the very bottom.

But did find "Dumb Waiter", which was released on the Strange Fruit 1997 comp, which goes for quite a bit now.

FLLR GB001 - GaoBest tapes - Saint Etienne

  South Parade Pier, Portsmouth FLLR GB001 = Saint Etienne This first selection from this Maxell XLII 90 minute tape was recorded on 1993-03-05 at South Parade Pier, Portsmouth. Taper is abbreviated as YP, who probably recorded with a Sony TC-D3 DAT and Aiwa CM-30 mics.  GaoBest's copy comes directly from the taper. It's one of his favorites, he played it frequently before it got shelved and then loaned out to me to ascertain and compare to what's already out there.   This show is already up on YouTube, here, from  "whatdoidonow 1997 ", and my tape source doesn't better it. Turns out that my tape ran a bit fast compared to this reference, so slowed it down 4.67% or about .79 a semitone, so that it is the exact same 45:00 length.  I've also provided the original transfer so you can compare and conclude it indeed runs too fast. NOTE: this is not just true for Portsmouth, as it was pointed out to me, but for the entire tape, so I've also speed corrected t...

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 ...
