“I actually bought Jon's LP from himself,he was selling it on Lever St Manchester.50p it cost.It came in a brown paper bag and he told me that I couldn't get Bowie's new lp for that price never mind buy it off him personally!! Great fella.”
“This gig was New Order's return to England after honing up their act in Europe along with Stockholm Monsters as support. Everything's Gone Green debuted at this gig which was the highlight of the show as everyone was asleep by the time they came on. The late show was partly to do with Beach Red as the band couldn't be found after releiving New Order of their crates of beer.Their set was cut short as Hooky was mixing it but was required elsewhere. The set was warmly received in the following week's NME (they tore into New Order) but the band never really eclipsed this gig As for Nick,I had a drink with him recently and he's okay.”
