3rd ep by New Order in a Special Metallic Finish Limited Edition Sleeve. This was the first recording for BBC Radio 1's John Peel Show, but it was only released as the second Peel Sessions by New Order and the 39th overall album by Strange Fruit Records. These four tracks were all recorded in Jan. 1981 at a point where the band had so far only released two singles, and they all appear on the debut album Movement (1981), but the recording sessions for the John Peel Radio Show were made before the final versions for the debut album. It's really only a mystery as to why Strange Fruit Records (and John Peel) didn't release this session as the first with New Order. Maybe, Factory Records had a say because all songs appear on their release with the band? Anyway, this is a fine album showing the band with strong bonds to the post-punk sound of Joy Division.
