Malcyramone SUBS

 Also released in a card slipcase. The previous owner seems to have lost theirs and made a replacement.
Cassette one, with red labels, goes with the blue inlay card and vice versa.

Another New Order cassette box set bought in Woolworth's in Chippenham, in 1987. I can't remember how much it cost but I seem to recall that I was pretty narked to pay a hefty wodge of my hard-earned apprentice cash for this costly box.

The actual tape of Tape 2 proved to be extremely thin - there was always a point where I could hear the tape beginning to chew up, so I would always stop it just before.

The tapes are chrome, recorded in non-Dolby. The sound is bassy, but kind of flat. The packaging is limited (1 inner) compared to the Low-Life boxed cassette (1 vellum inner, 4 postcards). But hey - that's Factory Records' minimalist packaging fetish for ya ;-)

According to Wikipedia:
"While Substance presents a sizeable collection of singles, there are many omissions and differences to be found from the original single releases:

"Temptation" and "Confusion" were re-recorded in 1987 especially for Substance and none of the original versions appear [states this on the inner].

"Ceremony" is the version recorded after Gillian Gilbert joined the band. The original trio version – the first New Order recording following the dissolution of Joy Division — would not be re-released until the Singles collection in 2005 and the re-release of Movement in 2008.

"Sub-culture", "Shellshock" and "Hurt" are all edited down from their original 12" recordings[doesn't say this on the inner - it says they're all the 12" versions].

"Cries and Whispers" is incorrectly labelled as "Mesh" on all versions, and only on the cassette version does the original "Mesh" actually appear, itself mistitled as "Cries and Whispers" (to add to the confusion, the iTunes Store release, based from the CD version, labels the "Cries and Whispers" as "Mesh (Cries and Whispers)").

"Sub-culture" is mistitled "Subculture", and "The Perfect Kiss" is mistitled "Perfect Kiss".

The standard tape version, due to the extra space befitting the format, also contains extra tracks in the form of "Dub-vulture", "Shellshock", and "Bizarre Dub Triangle", as well as the actual "Mesh".

Only on the limited edition cassette version does "True Dub" appear, as the last track on the second tape. On all cassette versions, "Murder" is after "Thieves Like Us" on the first cassette, whereas on the CD/DAT versions it appears on the second half of the album."

* * * * * * * * *
I have no idea if this box set is the "limited edition" with the extra "True Dub" track as Wiki states (as mentioned above - I was a too scared to play Cassette 2 for fear of chewing the thin tape).

It may be the limited edition Wiki refers to, because I remember a standard double-cassette version in a regular plastic "double-cassette" box in the stores at the same time...
