After suriviving almost two weeks of the alcoholic boredom that is the City in the pre-Christman lull, my mothers birthday, a distinctly lacklustre gig from Dinosaur Jnr down the LA2 but a superb one by the MC5 (ok, the MC3 now with a Sister Of Mercy guitarist and a new front man), it’s time to start uploading again.
Picked these two up for a fiver.
New Order Sub Culture 12” Fact 133: - Vinyl rip @ 256 etc
It was the second and final single that also appeared on the group's album release of the same year, Low-Life. The mix (by John Robie) is different from the one that appears on the album. "Sub-culture" has only a regular black sleeve, as graphic designer Peter Saville reportedly deemed the mix of the song unworthy of his talents. The b-side is a remix titled "Dub-Vulture". "Sub-culture" also appears on the group's 1987 compilation, Substance.
In a rare reversal for most New Order tracks, the album edit is often preferred by fans over the 12" version, due to the addition of backing vocals and a protracted intro to the 12". This has to be compared to "The Perfect Kiss", where the 12" version is usually seen as by far the better edit.
And this which is absolutely superb . . .
808 State & Bjork – Oops! 12” - Vinyl rip @ 256 etc
On ZTT, cat SAM 783 labelled “Promo Only”
Bernard Sumner’s supposed to be playing on it as well. This was recorded after the Sugarcubes split but before Bjork attained her “diva” status.
