The album has been newly remastered by Peter Beckmann at TechnologyWorks and is pressed on 180gsm black vinyl. The outer sleeve is printed in black with a silver pantone. The inner bag includes detailed liner notes by Steve Hopkins, as well as archive TIG and Strawberry images. Martin ‘Zero’ Hannett is the legendary Manchester producer famous for his work with Joy Division, Buzzcocks, New Order, Magazine and Happy Mondays. Steve Hopkins was his musical partner in The Invisible Girls, a floating studio collective which shaped epochal records by John Cooper Clarke, Pauline Murray, Nico and several others. The first five tracks on the album are a selection of previously unreleased demos (‘moods’) recorded at the famous Strawberry Studios between 1980 and 1987. “These were the beginnings of Martin’s Invisible Girls world domination plan,” ace arranger Hopkins explains. “The idea was to assemble a roster of key instrumental players, produce tracks to be fronted by different singers/stars – and get some hits!” Also included are 3 Hannett solo pieces recorded in 1978 and 1979, with the deluxe package rounded off by a DVD featuring a remarkable 13 minute trio improvisation by Hannett, Hopkins and Vini Reilly of The Durutti Column, recorded for television in January 1980. Praise for FBN 65: ‘This store room grab conjures Manchester’s scarred wastelands, jazz-funky library music and ambient disquiet. Blade Runner via the Arndale Centre. A strange wayward collection, just like the thought processes of Hannett’s brain’ (Mojo) ‘Lovingly annotated, these effortlessly melodic backdrops offer a glimpse into what could have been as a post-punk one-stop-shop Chic’ (Q); ‘Captivating’ (Classic Pop); ‘The Nelson Riddle of narcotic rock’ (The Wire) Artist Martin Hannett & Steve Hopkins Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Factory Benelux Buying Options 180g 1LP Includes DVD Format 180g , 1LP , Includes DVD Condition New Country UK Track Listings Scandinavian Wastes Huddersfield Wastes Toy of a Toy Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Time Is Slipping Space Music First Aspect of the Same Thing The Music Room Second Aspect of the Same Thing + Celebration/Test Card live DVD Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Little Scream Cult Following Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Merge | 1LP Released 6th May 2016 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Little Scream Cult Following £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Merge SKU: MRG537LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 6th May 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stone Temple Pilots Tiny Music…Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop (25th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition) Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Rhino | 1LP Released 23rd July 2021 £75.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Stone Temple Pilots Tiny Music…Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop (25th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition) £75.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Rhino SKU: 0603497844357 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd July 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Russian Circles Station (15th Anniversary Re-issue) Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Sargent House | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 14th July 2023 £26.00 - £28.00 Select options Russian Circles Station (15th Anniversary Re-issue) £26.00 - £28.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Sargent House Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 14th July 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Jazz June, The After the Earthquake Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Topshelf | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 22nd May 2015 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jazz June, The After the Earthquake £15.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Topshelf SKU: TSR117LPPMI Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 22nd May 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Teethe Teethe Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Winspear | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes 7" Released 23rd February 2024 £24.00 - £32.00 Select options Teethe Teethe £24.00 - £32.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Winspear Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes 7" Released Date: 23rd February 2024 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Minor Threat Minor Threat Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Dischord | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th October 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Minor Threat Minor Threat £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Dischord SKU: DIS12 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 9th October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Johnny Moped Lurrigate Your Mind Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Damaged Goods | 1LP Released 24th May 2019 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Johnny Moped Lurrigate Your Mind £13.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Damaged Goods SKU: DAMGOOD514LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Remo Drive Natural, Everyday Degradation Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Epitaph | 1LP Released 14th June 2019 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Remo Drive Natural, Everyday Degradation £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Epitaph SKU: 8714092766813 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th June 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Graham's picks View Product Quick View Pixies Trompe Le Monde (30th Anniversary) Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | 4AD | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th September 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pixies Trompe Le Monde (30th Anniversary) £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: 4AD SKU: CAD1014LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mom Jeans Best Buds Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Counter Intuitive Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th June 2022 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mom Jeans Best Buds £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Counter Intuitive Records SKU: CIR010vinyl9 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Start again
