Amazon.co.uk Review
Simultaneous to the release of their debut Movement album in 1981 and only 10 months on from the tragic demise of Joy Division and the resultant fall-out from Ian Curtis' death, New Order's first John Peel Session now sounds like the withered electronic chill of a pre-transitional outfit, a band suspended in unanimated limbo between the grey-tinged gravitas of their forerunners and the looser, rhythmic dance leanings of their gloriously inventive future. The latter tendencies, though, start to creep into view on the second Peel Session from the following year, with "586", in particular, pointing the way to the vigorous but characteristically glum techno-pump of Power, Corruption and Lies. Two further tracks from the same session, "Too Late" and a cover version of Keith Hudson's "Turn The Heater On" also aid the post-Joy Division thaw and are unavailable elsewhere. The omission of New Order's third, best and most representative John Peel Session (five songs including versions of Joy Division's "Isolation" and "Atmosphere" and a guest appearance from Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie), which was originally broadcast at the time of the band's reformation in 1998 seems, at the very least, a most curious oversight. --Kevin Maidment

This is an absolute gem; the first four tracks on this LP, which were initially recorded as the first Peel Sessions EP on Strange Fruit, are absolute classic New Order. "Turn the Heater On" wasn't released anywhere else, but remains one of New Order's darkest and most magnificent moments.
A must for any New Order fan December 30, 2002

This New Order Peel Sessions are the most perfect answer to the esceptics...obviously Ian Curtis is still in Barney's voice, the band is in a transition period, etc. But every note and every song are different...they are New Order songs, not Joy Division songs. This album also includes songs of the first New Order album Movement (1981), and a rarity: a song called Turn the heater on.
Buy it with the BBC Radio 1 concert (taken from Glastonbury festival 1987), if you have the New Order albums. Don't miss them.

This is the early material showcased on the ledgendary Peel Sessions. What you get here is the reminder of how ahead of their time New Order were and after Joy Division maintained the creative force to make them the best band ever to come out of Manchester.
