I made of point of tuning in for the first New Order session broadcast.  I recorded the session and just fell in love with the intensity.  A couple of years later I moved to Salford as a student and I can identify with the bleakness that comes over.

The context is that Ian Curtis commited suicide 18 May 1980, nine months earlier.  This was the first public outing for the remaining members in their new guise (I think I'm right in saying).  It seems like they didn't yet find their new identity and were still in the Joy Division mode.  It's my favorite New Order period though.

File's too big to upload here so I had to go to Alonetone.

Good cover Nick - certainly got the post-Joy Division vibe going on this. Have you been to Manchester and Salford recently? Certainly changed from those dreary days of the 70's and early 80's.

Cool cover- don't know the original, but sounds very 80's in a dark new romantic () type of way :-)

You captured that keyboard sound of that time nick.
Brings back memory's ,a lot of people slag off the keyboard bands of That time calling the music lifeless etc but it was exciting to me,now you get Gary Numan tracks etc popping up on hip hop songs.
Joy division,depeche mode,ultra vox ,Kraftwerk,,,,,,all painted a great musical landscape.
Nice one nick.

Not the kind of music I usually listen to, but I really enjoyed this !! Very polished production and a great performance !!!

[Flash Harry]

Cracking. You have captured the bleakness perfectly - I miss this genre, I was brought up on it and there's not enough around these days.

Super version Nick.

I saw the Buzzcocks in 1979 at the Apollo in Manchester, they were supported by Joy Division, I can't remember much about the Buzzcocks (they were playing Leeds Academy last week) but I remember Joy Division like it was yesterday. 
At the time it seemed that New Order took a while to find themselves after Ian Curtis died, I should take some time to revisit that period.
Thanks for this, a lot of effort has produced an authentic sound. Excellent.

Magical. Like you I sat up late to hear that session I actually still have a cassette recording of the broadcast. It's in a box in the attic. I don't have a cassette player tho. I loved this era of new order post joy division. Thank you for making an old bugger happy.
