ahead attitude came companies countries edits listened minutes nine order radio record single singles song songs sort stuff wrote
If we wrote a song that was nine minutes long, it was nine minutes long, and that was it. That was our attitude back then. A lot of the single edits came about because the different record companies in different countries couldn't get our songs on the radio because they were too long. Because we wouldn't play ball, they went ahead and did their own edits. There was stuff on Singles that I'd never listened to, to be honest. But I was very impressed. Now when I deejay, I actually play a lot of New Order singles, which is great. I sort of rediscovered them.

It's the same misconception I used to have. I meet people and think they're millionaires and they're not.

I'd rather have ten people who are mad for it than ten thousand who aren't.
