Introductions by Moby and Paul Morley

Moby Up until about 10 minutes ago I thought that the depths of my Joy Division/New Order obsession were untouched/unmatched. Then I looked through this book. Ah boy, I’m beaten. And in awe…  

Paul Morley – Tiny 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 a meticulous 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.

John Kennedy – X-posure/Radio xThe epic book… one amazing tome… a cultural history and an essential addition to any New Order fan’s life… a much-treasured item.
