‘Like New Order, Blur, Devo and Captain Beefheart swapping ideas and insults over a lethal cocktail of alcoholic beverages." – Radio One.

" If Kraftwerk did guitars. At times veering towards Leftfield, at times more Joy Division, this is greyfiltered indie, excellently played, but more bleak on the inside that you first expect." - DrownedInSound.Com

NEW ORDER was on channel four last night, a television programme "the ultimate chart: the uk's best selling singles"
Basically Blue Monday is the 76th best selling single in the UK in the past 50 years (sales: 1,001,400). It was nettling in between the Osmonds ""long haired lover from liverpool" (No77) and "eye level" the Simon park orchestra (75).

The interview took place with Morris, Hook and Sumner in a recording studio where work appeared to be in progress.

Morris , Hook and Sumner were interviewed about Blue Monday and some of the other songs on the list.
I have to say they really were on good form and were cracking jokes and telling stories.

Hooky and Bernard S. having a go at Morris for wiping all the drums off the version they programmed first because his foot got stuck on the mains lead and pulled it out!

There was also a few seconds of studio footage showing them playing Blue Monday.

Sumner said they recorded it because people were complaining for not doing encores, so NEW ORDER wanted to program an entire track then come on stage as if to do on an encore press a button and fuck off again!

Oh by the way "Candle in the wind" by the fantastic Elton John was No1.

NEW ORDER's performance at LONDON's FINSBURY PARK earlier this year is to be documented on a new DVD.

'NewOrder 511', released on December 9 by Warner Music Vision, contains the whole gig, plus a documentary and behind-the scenes footage.

The video's title comes from the fact that the band played 11 New Order songs on the day, as well as five classics from their previous incarnation as Joy Division.

The full setlist as featured on the DVD is:

• 'Crystal'
• 'Transmission'
• 'Regret'
• 'Ceremony'
• '60 Miles An Hour'
• 'Atmosphere'
• 'Brutal'
• 'Close Range'
• 'She's Lost Control'
• 'True Faith'
• 'Bizarre Love Triangle'
• 'Temptation'
• 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'
• 'Digital'
• 'Blue Monday'
• 'Your Silent Face'

As previously revealed on NME.COM, A four-CD box set called 'Retro' is to be released on December 9, chronicling the 21-year history of the band.

NME named Love Will Tear Us Apart the greatest single of all time.

New Order Goes 'Retro' For Box Set

In the nick of time for the holiday season, iconic British synth-pop act New Order will next month release "Retro," a four-disc survey of its career, to be followed in January by "International," a single-disc collection of hits. The box is scheduled for a Dec. 17 release, while the hits set is due Jan. 28; both will be issued via Warner Bros.

Assembled as a museum tour through New Order's history, each of the discs that make up "Retro" was "curated" by a different person. Journalists Miranda Sawyer and John McCready assembled the first two discs, respectively, while Manchester, England-based DJ Mike Pickering handled the third, and Primal Scream vocalist Bobby Gillespie brought together the fourth.

Discs one and two cull album tracks, singles, B-sides, and such. On the first, Sawyer relies on such hits as "Temptation," "True Faith," "Regret," "Bizarre Love Triangle," and "Blue Monday." McCready's collection differs with its focus on deeper album cuts such as "Your Silent Face," "Sooner Than You Think," "Everyone Everywhere," and the rare B-side "Cries and Whispers."

Pickering's disc three is mostly made up of remixes, and includes six tracks previously unissued in the U.S. Among the highlights are an extended instrumental mix of the Chemical Brothers-produced "Here To Stay" and a Lee Coombs remix of "Crystal." Also featured are tracks remixed by Koma & Bones, Robert Racic, Sabres, John Robie, Steve "Silk" Hurley, Jam & Spoon, Shep Pettibone, and Arthur Baker.

To create the final disc, Gillespie sorted through hundreds of hours of live recordings to choose 14 tracks, none of which have been previously released anywhere in the world. His selections span New Order's entire career, ranging from an early recording of "In a Lonely Place" from a Glastonbury Festival appearance in 1981 to a version of "Crystal" performed earlier this year during a stop on Australia's Big Day Out festival tour. Live recordings of "Procession," "Everything's Gone Green," "Age of Consent," "This Time of Night," "Turn My Way," and "Temptation" are also included.

"International," meanwhile, will assemble 14 New Order songs, including the original 12-inch version of "Blue Monday," Pettibone's mix of "Bizarre Love Triangle," and such favorites as "True Faith," "Regret," "Crystal," and "60 MPH." A limited number of copies will also include an additional five-song second disc, the content of which was unknown at deadline.

Last year's "Get Ready" ended an eight-year studio album silence for New Order (heralded a year earlier by "Brutal," which appeared on the soundtrack to "The Beach"). The Warner Bros. set debuted at No. 2 on Billboard's Top Electronic Albums chart and No. 41 on The Billboard 200. On Billboard's Hot Dance Music charts, lead single "Crystal" topped the Club Play tally and reached No. 3 on the Maxi-Singles Sales roundup.

Also included in the compilation are "Crystal," "Slow Jam" and "Run Wild" from the band's latest album, Get Ready (2001). "The excitement in Get Ready is worthy of being eighteen," bassist Peter Hook told Rolling Stone last year. "I listen to it, and I feel very energized."

NEW ORDER  RETRO

NEW ORDER Boxed Set is set for December 2002 and Greatest Hits for February 2003.

'GLASTONBURY' POSTPONED!

The stage version of 'GLASTONBURY', directed by KEITH ALLEN and designed by DAMIEN HIRST, has been postponed in MANCHESTER.

The event was scheduled to visit Manchester from Wednesday (October 23) to Saturday (October 26). However, it has been postponed. Organisers cite "Council Licensing difficulties" as the reason.

A statement reads: "The production will no longer be staged in the marquee at Whitworth Park. The producers still plan to tour the production to Manchester and will be announcing a new venue for later in November, in due course.

"The company apologise for any disappointment or inconvenience caused to those who have already booked to see the show this week in Manchester. All tickets will be valid for the forthcoming performances in November."

As a result, the production will remain in Cardiff at Pontcanna Fields for a second week.

This is the sleeve of NEW ORDER "Greatest Hits" release in France November 05, 2002
        

Catch the band live at the following October / November dates:

Friday 25th October @ the Garage, Islington, London

Drama over Glastonbury play cancellation

Belinda Hanks

A LICENSING mix-up has left hundreds of music fans disappointed after the cancellation of the play Glastonbury at Whitworth Park.

The stage version of the festival, written by Manchester's Zoe Lewis, has Brit-art's Damien Hirst on board as set designer, Fat Les frontman Keith Allen doubling up as actor and director and had recruited New Order to provide musical interludes live at the show's Whitworth Park tour dates.

Disappointed ticket holders have been told the show will not go ahead at that venue although organisers say they are doing everything they can to find an alternative space.

Mr Clive Darnell, 34, from central Manchester was one of those who paid for tickets. He told ManchesterOnline: "The ticket agency changed the dates and didn't let me know. Now they've cancelled those dates as well.

"I've had to pay postage and the booking fee. Plus, we had two friends travelling from London and two from Hull to go and see it. It's completely messed up the weekend."

Licence

Manchester City Council has confirmed it was unable to grant a licence for Glastonbury from October 22-26, and said the play's organisers had incorrectly applied for the wrong one.

A city council spokeswoman explained: "They (the organisers) applied for a stage play licence, but need a public entertainment licence."

She added: "The Council is still negotiating to see if we can provide them with a suitable venue and licence and that's still in progress."

She did confirm, however, that it would not be at Whitworth Park, because it is now unavailable and booked up: "We are hoping we can stage it somewhere else."

Writer Zoe Lewis declined to comment on the licence fiasco, but promised the show would go ahead on the rescheduled dates (October 22-26) and the venue will be confirmed ASAP.

Ticket agent Wayahead has now told Mr Darnell he will get a refund.

Anyone with tickets for Glastonbury can return them to Wayahead for a refund at Wayahead box office, The Hollows, St James's Street, Nottingham, NG1 6FJ, phone 08712 200 260 or visit the website below.

Ex-FACTORY RECORDS boss TONY WILSON has been declared bankrupt, but is claiming it is all a mistake.

Wilson, whose Factory label launched Happy Mondays and New Order, is due in court in at the end of the week in an attempt to get the judgement overturned.

He told the Manchester Evening News: "It's all been one big clerical cock-up and I'm going back to court to have it annulled. I'm very annoyed by the whole situation and I don't know what the Inland Revenue has been up to. I'm actually in the most solvent financial position I've been in for years right now."

A spokeswoman for Manchester County Court told the paper that Wilson was adjudged bankrupt on September 13 after a hearing at the London Royal Courts of Justice.

Wilson was the focus of the Michael Winterbottom film '24 Hour Party People', starring Steve Coogan. He currently works for Granada News.

"24 Hour Party People" Region 2 DVD will carry the catalogue number FACDVD424 out to buy on DVD and VHS on 27th January 2003. "

Below is a list of the extras for "24 Hour Party People" DOUBLE DISC SET:

-Tony Wilson Commentary (audio)
-Steve Coogan and Producer Andrew Eaton Commentary (audio)

Fatboy Slim, New Order, Joe Strummer, UB40 and Alabama 3 are to star in the forthcoming Keith Allen-directed play, 'Glastonbury'.

The play, which charts the experiences of seven festival goers, visits five venues over the coming months and features Damien Hirst designed sets underneath a 'big top' style circus tent.

Director Allen explained: "It's a play that will attract an audience that wouldn't normally go to the theatre.

"And if you want to attract a non-theatre audience don't put it in a theatre. It's a brilliant device to get people in to watch a play and think, 'Christ I get this, I understand this'.

"I passionately believe that people are bored with television to be honest, and everything about television. Not just reality TV, but most music TV is rank and incredibly boring, I think people don't go to 'shows' because it's never been on their agenda before.

"Basically everyone's 'tent-literate'," he added, "so why not do a show in a tent then."

Though a London venue has yet to be confirmed, organisers are hoping to secure a run at the Camden Roundhouse in 2003.

He told Xfm: "We're hoping it'll come into the Roundhouse, that's the plan, about February next year.

"Who would I like to play? Primal Scream, that'd be absolutely perfect, actually I'm speaking to Mani (Primal Scream bassist) at the moment about appearing in one of these shows.

"In fact we might have Moby, as he'd be over here at the end of our tour. That would be good. Can you imagine? 'Bloody hell, there's Moby'."

Artists involved in the tour will play dates that correspond to their individual hometowns.

Full tour dates are as follows:

Oct 16-19: Cardiff Bute Park
Alabama 3
Joe Strummer

Oct 23-26: Manchester Whitworth Park
New Order

Oct 30 - Nov 2: Birmingham, Cannon Hill Park
UB40

Nov 6-10: Brighton, The Level

Article in The Sun of today (Friday)
NEW ORDER frontman BERNARD SUMNER makes his DJ-ing debut at tonight's exclusive party for techno star MOBY. But Bernard reveals he has never DJ-ed before. A pal said: "Bernard is quite nervous. There are going to be loads of celebs there and he isn't sure of what to play."

If you’re fed up with superstar DJ poseurs and like the idea of an unpretentious rollicking good laugh on a Monday night, look no further. Birmingham’s Code venue will shortly be hosting a new weekly Monday night entitled Happy Mondayz, which will feature Madchester DJs. The night will kick of on Monday September 30 with DJ sets from Bez (Happy Mondays) and Clint Boon (Inspiral Carpets). Subsequent Mondays will operate a rota system, whereby at least two of the following DJs will play: Bez (Happy Mondays), Manny (Primal Scream / Stone Roses), Bernard Sumner (New Order), Craig Gill (Inspiral Carpets), MC Tunes (808 State / Dust Junkies) and Andy Rourke (Badly Drawn Boy / The Smiths).

Latest New Order Gems Out Of Reach For U.S. Fans
 
New box set, greatest-hits disc not scheduled for release Stateside.

Did you find 1995's Best of New Order unsatisfying? Did the movie "24 Hour Party People" have you itching for more New Order rarities? Well, if you live in the U.S. consider yourself S.O.L.

Though they're slated for release overseas, neither New Order's forthcoming box set nor their new greatest hits CD, Here to Stay, are slated to land in U.S. stores, due to the band's current wrangling with parent label WEA.

Last year when New Order released their seventh studio album, Get Ready, it seemed like nobody was all that ready for their return. After an eight-year hiatus, the post-punk pioneers got a tepid reception, barely marking up the Billboard albums chart before falling off entirely.

And even though a chorus of critics hailed Get Ready as one of the best albums of 2001, it took the release of Michael Winterbottom's homage to No Wave Manchester, "24 Hour Party People," to put New Order back on the proverbial map.

Today New Order are riding on a full tank of pop-culture clout with a new generation of freshly minted fans. However, despite the swell of renewed interest, none of WEA's affiliated labels — such as Atlantic, Warner Bros. and Rhino — has stepped forward to put out the rarities-riddled box set or the new greatest-hits collection, which features period remixes.

A rep from New Order's U.S. management accused the record companies of lacking a spine. "If record companies and radio can't exploit bands, then they don't know how to handle them. I think it's systematic of the whole industry, not just one company. These companies can only handle radio fodder, although I don't know what that says about the whole business itself."

WEA had no comment except to reiterate that it will be releasing Here to Stay internationally and that New Order still have a label relationship with Warner Bros. in the United States.

Track listing for Here to Stay:

• "Ceremony"
   
• "Blue Monday" (original 12-inch mix)
   
• "Confusion" (Arthur Baker 12-inch mix)
   
• "Thieves Like Us"
   
• "Perfect Kiss" (original 12-inch mix)
   
• "Shellshock"
   
• "Bizarre Love Triangle" (Shep Pettibone 12-inch mix)
   
• "True Faith" (original 12-inch mix)
   
• "Touched by the Hand of God" (original 12-inch mix)
   
• "Crystal"
   
• "60MPH"
   
• "Here to Stay"

This report is from MTV News

Damon Gough, Peter Hook and Primal Scream's Mani take to the stage......          Our inaugural presenters, Jonny Vegas and Lauren Laverne announced the winners, the stars took to the stage and the first of The Musos were taken away by the likes of Ian Brown, Nitin Sawhney and Damon Gough.    Musicians voting for Musicians is what its all about and our winners seemed to get and appreciate the message:     In an indoor venue, turfed entirely in real grass, complete with marquees and portaloos, the last festival of the summer took place. A blinding repertoire of live performances from The Darkness, Big Sur, Kid Galahad and Reef put everyone in the mood. Reef topped off a raucous night by taking to the stage with The Jimi Hendrix Experience's Bass-Player, Noel Redding to perform 'Hey Joe' and 'Voodoo Chile'. A fitting finale indeed.    The evening was beyond all expectations and we all feel The Musos has now firmly established itself in the Music Industry calendar.   Get used to us - we're here to stay!
	Damon + Hooky share a joke..........

“What I’d like to say is (points to Johnny Vegas) shut the f*** up and (points to Lauren Laverne) shut the f*** up. When I started in this business in nineteen f****** seventy f******* seven we had beliefs and trust in people and trust in ourselves and it’s nice that twenty-five years later we now we have trust in someone. I’d like to thank my wife Becky for being my f******* mainstay throughout everything. I’d like to thank my mother. I’d like to thank my son, Jack and my daughter, Heather and my daughter, Jessica. Oh and Noel (Redding). And do you know what? Us bass players have got to stick together because nobody else wants to have anyf*******thing to do with us. It makes me laugh right, because I’ve been with Mani and he’s a ****. I want to thank Paul Simenon for wearing his bass low, Jean Jaques Burnell for having aggression. John Entwhistle for thinking he’s better than the lead guitarist when we know we’re better than the lead guitarist, right?  I want to thank Mani for making me party, I want to thank Keith Allen, Ian Curtis, Bernard Sumner, Steven Morris and I want to thank the best three-fingered, tone deaf bass player in Salford . And that’s me. Goodnight. F*** you.  - Hooky leaves the stage, forgetting  to pick up award. He returns to smash more microphone stands and collect award, leaving Jonny to cower behind the lectern saying "Oh f**k, he's back". He then returns to stage several times thereafter to “help” Damon Gough collect award, to rearrange microphone stands and to grab Johnny’s chest.

NEW 1400 CAPACITY CLUB FOR MANCHESTER

The Hacienda might have been unceremoniously turned into dust to make way for yuppie flats, but the city’s dance culture isn’t dead yet. A new 1400 capacity club, Ascension, will be opening its doors to the Mancunian massive on Thursday November 28. The club is housed in a five-floor building, which once housed Marks and Spencers. The building was gutted leaving designers and architects a blank slate to create a new environment. The top two floors have been turned into offices and recording studios for the creative industries, whilst the club is housed on the ground floor and basement. Ascension incorporates a two story, double decked bar and DJ booth which aims to create a sense of connection between the two floors. It will launch with a mini Manchester festival:

NEW ORDER, OCEAN COLOUR SCENE THE ALABAMA THREE and UB40 are among the band who will feature when a new play about the GLASTONBURY festival tours the UK .

The play, scriptwrited by Zoe Lewis, directed by actor and Glasto regular Keith Allen and with set design by controversial artist Damien Hirst, tells the story of seven very different visitors to Glastonbury. The couples meet, part, take drugs and party, before the story spins to a bleak and dramatic conclusion.

The play will be performed in giant marquee that will be erected in turn in Brighton, Cardiff, Manchester and Birmingham, and the audience will pass through a series of sideshows, campfires and stalls before being entertained by a rotating line-up of bands, including the likes of New Order and UB40.

Tomorrow night (September 9) Lewis, Allen and Hirst will mark the start of a 'pilot tour' for the play with a party outside London's Camden Roundhouse venue. Eventually the trio hope to take the play back there for a London run.

Hirst has designed the set according to his friend and Fat Les bandmate Allen's wish to recreate a festival atmosphere.

Allen said: "Damien has designed a set that will be like a corner of Glastonbury, with two revolving daisies in the middle. The audience will be able to lie down on cushions and drink and smoke."

just got the news that HOOKY (yes, that's our Peter Hook) is DJing at the STONE LOVE club in NEWCASTLE next Thursday (September 12th).

There are posters all over Newcastle about this event.

The dotmusic-endorsed inaugural Muso Awards took place this week amidst the kind of booze-fuelled chaos that was only to be expected from the first award show for musicians voted by musicians.

Winners on the night included Paul Weller (The Musos' Muso), Ian Brown (Best Single), Badly Drawn Boy (Best Songwriter) and New Order's Peter Hook (Best Bass).

Decked out like an authentic festival backstage area, with real turf covering the floor and plastic tables, the Ocean Venue was transformed into Glastonbury in North East London.

Presented by Johnny Vegas and Lauren Laverne, the awards were sponsored by dotmusic in support of the Kandu Arts and Streetz Ahead charities that have worked with artists including Damon Albarn to carry out music workshops in schools in London and Bristol.

Peter Hook made an early start to the chaos when, visibly worse for wear, he kicked over presenter Johnny Vegas' mic stand and launched into a ranted tribute to bass-playing legends including The Who's John Entwistle and Mani of Primal Scream and The Stone Roses.

Badly Drawn Boy looked somewhat perplexed when Hook again invaded the stage and ordered Mani to join him.

Later, Reef impressed the crowd when they appeared onstage with Jimi Hendrix Experience bassist Noel Redding to play a blistering version of 'Voodoo Chile'.

The winners in full:

The Musos Muso: Paul Weller
Best Album: Nitin Sawhney
Best Single: Ian Brown
Best Vocal: PJ Harvey
Best Lead Guitar: Jonny Greenwood - Radiohead
Best Drummer: Alan White - Oasis
Best Bass: Peter Hook - New Order
Best Keyboard: Tony Rogers - The Charlatans
Best Songwriter: Badly Drawn Boy
Best Live Act: Charlatans
Best New Act: Haven

THE MUSOS KICK ASS!
The fights! The swearing! The grass!

What looked like being a dull awards ceremony became the new Brits last night, when The Musos' Best Bassist winner Peter Hook went characteristically barking.

After telling hosts Jonny Vegas and Lauren Laverne to "fuck right off", Hook delivered a rambling speech, swore a lot, and fell off the stage. He then Reappeared during Badly Drawn Boy's speech, grabbing his award and swearing some more, and was joined by a similarly pissed up Mani to shout "fuck this shit" at the crowd. He spent the rest of the evening hitting people with his award and beaming dribblishly, occasionally throwing people to the ground and laughing. "I am entitled to have a good time," he shouted at us at some point, and who could disagree?

In other Musos news, Ian Brown accepted his speech with the classic line, "stay off the cocaine," as hundreds of gakked up industry swine chattered oblivious, Badly Drawn Boy wore a NEW HAT (!!!), The Darkness and Crack Village decided to make "the new 'Walk This Way'", and the latter's Akira had a fight with two of My Vitriol. All in all a good night, really.

NEW ORDER - CONFUSION (KOMA & BONES MIX) (WHACKED)

This first collaboration between New Order and the legendary DJ/producer Arthur Baker brought Manchester's lively indie scene together with the sound of New York.

It was a track that was instrumental in setting the stage for the dance explosion that followed. On its' 20th anniversary, Whacked have rounded up a fine collection of remixes.

The track lends itself well here to Koma and Bones shadowy breaks mix.

They've retained the original vibe, along with Peter Hook's distinctive bass, in both a vocal and dub offering. The memories come flooding back and it's beautiful to hear again, in any variation.

Tracklist + New Order Comments

01. Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band 'Big Eyed Beans From Venus'
A sci-fi blues freak out from the variable genius Van Vliet with spine tingling slide additions from Zoot Horn Rollo. Quite obviously the inspiration behind 'Confusion'

02. Primal Scream 'Higher Than the Sun'
A bit from the Orb's compressed pop mix and the stratospheric end bit from Weatherall's dub symphony with the metronomic Jah Wobble providing an unwavering backbone. Who could miss the similarities between this and Bizarre Love Triangle?

03. Missy Elliot 'The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)'
Timbaland's twitchy rhythms versus the cranky observations of the lady in the inflatable space suit. This was massive on the Joy Division tour bus.

04. The Velvet Underground 'Venus in Furs'
The sleazy cool reflected in the distance between Peter Hook's feet when he used to wear those leather trousers is perfectly encapsulated in Lou Reed's pervily sublime steal of a famous mucky book and the sound of John Cale sawing a cello in half. Which somehow perfectly leads us beneath a motorway bridge near NorthendenŠ.

05. Doves 'M62 Song'
You can hear the trucks and cars on this dark lullaby recorded in the dead of night. And the mic is passed to a feller in a sparkly jacket and greasy hairŠ.

06. Roxy Music 'In Every Dream Home a Heartache'
Simultaneously sinister and hilarious this love song for an inflatable lady friend was the kind of thing that the responsible young citizens that went on to make up New Order would twist their impressionable minds with.

07. Cat Stevens 'Was Dog a Doughnut?'
A peak time classic at Jellybean's Funhouse when New Order first alighted in electro land NY. Chick Corea is playing keyboards on this. On paper it might seem ridiculous, in reality it is perfect.

08. Mantronix 'Bassline'
Before narrow-mindedness set up a fence between house and hip-hop, this was the kind of record that filled the floor with ease at the Hacienda. Lyrically it's all but irrelevant, but its frantic edits and undeniable energy still make it special.

09. The Groundhogs 'Cherry Red'
A psychotic energy flash from a much misunderstood abstract blues band who, while their contemporaries sang of pixies and hobbits, traversed the same idiosyncratic route as Joy Division did almost ten years later. Peter Hook would probably tell you that Tony McPhee says more about his life than JG Ballard.

10. Joey Beltram 'Energy Flash'
Downright demonic, during the creation of this mix, shards of this devilish techno masterpiece appeared to replay in other rooms in the building for no good reason. Also features the word 'Ecstasy' which, though now ridiculous, at the time had a certain frisson.

11. Donna Summer 'I Feel Love (Patrick Cowley mix)'
Edited down from its original 15-minute glory in order to keep it burning here, this record still sounds incredible in any form. What could they have been thinking/drinking in Munich back then?

12. Can 'Mushroom'
Krautrock underpinned by the inspirational drumming of Jaki Liebezeit who appears to have studied under James Brown while the rest of the band kept busy sellotaping bits of dark Velvet to Stockhausen's arty pants. And Explosions as a bonus- what more could you need in any piece of music?

13. Rhythim is Rhythim 'The Dance'
Almost 15 years old and still peerless in all it's skeletal glory. Let's leave some intellectuals to draw a line between this and something off Power Corruption and Lies.

14. Giorgio Vs Talla 2XLC 'E=MC2'
Acknowledged on more than one occasion by Bernard Sumner as a transitional influence on the fledgling New Order, this celebration of machine music is the only place to end.

New Order single "CONFUSION" will be re-released in UK September 23rd 2002.

CONFUSION ARTHUR BAKER/ASTO UK, 12"
