A well-illustrated and detailed account of the
early days of New Order by fanactical fan, with over 400 unpublished
photographs and much rare memorabilia. Includes texts by Moby, Peter
Hook, Stephen Morris, and Paul Morley.
A rare book who went out of print since its initial 2012
very limited first edition run. This new edition contains exclusive 7” featuring
previously unreleased 1983 interview with Barney Sumner conducted by the
author, over 400 unique-to-this-publication photos of the band and 200
plus images of rare memorabilia.
No one has ever documented the
early live career of a truly iconic band in such detail. Dec Hickey saw
every New Order UK gig between Feb ’81 and June ’84 - some fifty plus
nights! with forewords by Peter Hook and Stephen Morris, Introductions by Moby and Paul Morley.
Paul Morley - On his own words a extract from his Introduction to the book
‘I
can very much understand someone having an obsession with New Order...
It was inevitable that a fan, a loyal, attentive follower, of such a
group on such ameticulous label releasing records packaged with such
scrupulous suggestive care would themselves be particularly obsessive...
The fan(atic) symbolises the idea that without obsession, life is
nothing... For the fan, New Order are an ideal object of desire, the
perfect pop group - in the form of a perfect puzzle, an actual sign of
fluid intelligence - to obsess over, to collect, analyse, interpret,
treasure, and ultimately possess’.
Definitely an epic book, full of cultural history and an
essential addition to any New Order fan's life... a much-treasured
item.
