these are all pretty great, the rest I haven't heard or are unremarkable.

I've heard many of those and they are all very good for the most part ... in particular, the video version of "Perfect Kiss" is a very interesting find.

Wasn't the "Perfect Kiss" video version available on the Retro bonus disc?

I made a poor choice of words ... I didn't mean that it was impossible to find, rather, it's an unexpected inclusion on a comp like this (and it is somewhat rare, hence, its appearance on the rarities disc on the box set).

[/exaggeration]

are you sure it's an edit? the version on my iPod is a staggering 9'56" long ...

that said: it claims to be "The Perfect Kiss (live take recorded at video shoot)", which suggests it's not exactly the same version that's in the video. mind you, given the NO tradition of mislabelling everything, this doesn't mean very much.

Which I mean is cool and all, but I don't get the Holy Grail status some seem to give it.

I hope not. What a great thing that'd be to have on your resume.

as for the PK video: it's a thing of awesome beauty. it was seeing the video (on neworderstory) that really made me realise what a fucking astonishing song it is; perhaps it's a trick of the mind, then, that i think that version is somehow better. to my ears it somehow sounds more muscular.

shit, that'd make sense, huh? Forgot about that whole thing.

The Perfect Kiss video I have is on the Substance VHS, and it's def. not 9 minutes long. Maybe 5 or so, maybe more. The Qwest promo 12" version I THINK is 8 plus minutes long, I'll have to check.

The orange vinyl New Order In Order I bought recently from voice/new yorker writer Vince Aletti.

Salvation was directed by Beth B, the Bizarre Love Triangle video was directed by Robert Longo. They are both downtown NYC 80s art scenesters. My forthcoming Crazy Rhythms mix CD has a killer track from a soundtrack called Vortex released by Beth and Scott B, feat. Adele Bertai, Lydia Lunch, Richard Edson and other post-no wave folks. I've never seen the movie, and the soundtrack, despite having some of my all-time favorite bands on their(New Order AND the Cabs!) isn't that great and is pretty common.

And am I the only one who adores the Sabres Of Paradise "Fast N Throb" mix of "Regret"?

4 years later I am here to say - No! you are not the only person who adores the Sabres remixes of Regret. If only my vinyl wasn't so crapped out.

Fast N Throb mix isn't as good as the Slow mix though.

Agreed.

Also love the Sabres mixes. Looking forward to Jeb posting more of this stuff on his excellent blog.

That one is great, Tuomas.

This one probably won't be so popular, but I love it

the 2cd edition : £1.50 in charity shop yesterday.

having only ever been a minor league fan, this is a lot of remixes to digest.

i love the beach buggy 12", and the original of course.

all these remixes of blue monday , and yet the original is the one i prefer - tell me which remix i should home in on.

The Hardfloor mix and the dubby one, think it's the Andrea mix, are the best of the Blue Monday 95 mixes.

yeah, the hardfloor is ok ..
the rest kinda washed over me to be honest.

Just noticed they're soon reissuing The Best Of and The Rest Of with two extra discs of remixes. Quite apart from the fact of TBO's compromised track listing making even less sense today than in 1994 this has led me to youtube and rediscover some pleasant enough mixes I haven't heard in years: the Sabres Mix of Regret, which isn't one of their best but has an alluring if slightly queasy brightness to it, puts me in mind of early Lemon Jelly of all people; True Faith Sexy Disco Dub, agreeable enough prog-house but oh nice that failproof Jaydee organ; and World (the Price of Dub) which might work nicely with naff Eurodance diva+rapper combo over the top. I doubt the new discs will be all that revelatory but The Rest Of is a bit of a classic to me (longest individual CD I owned between 2005 and 2011).

there are two Sabres Regrets! “Slow’n’lo” and “fast’n’throb.” Sounds like you might be looking for the former.

the james holden remix of "someone like you" is really really cool, kinda like glitched out prog

xp oh yes whoops, didn't clarify
