*(k) Discovered recently I had a complete tape of Peel's 1998 Christmas Special, the interview, new session and concert from New Order. No idea if everyone's got this already. And It's actually not that festive in content, but it's from this time of year, so thought it might help the mood...
*(Ken Garner, The Peel Sessions, pg 239) New Order special (pre-recorded): interview, new studio session recorded 24/11, favourite records, and set recorded at Reading Festival 30/8 (1st TX In Concert Mon 30/11).
*The atmosphere in the studio is relaxed and jovial with all four group members present and in high spirits. Peel has obviously established quite a rapport with New Order over the years, despite them being inactive as a group for some years now and only recently coming back together again to play live.
*After Anarchy in the UK JP tells a story of how he went up to Derby to see the Sex Pistols only to find a hand-written note saying that the gig had been cancelled. This would have been on 04 December 1976.
*The Source feat. Candy Staton track You Got the Love is the same song that would become a hit for Florence and the Machine in 2009.
*After Sunday Morning JP recalls how he was introduced to Niko prior to an In Concert live performance in London which Peel was to introduce. Niko just walked away without saying a word to him.
*New Order announce a box set compilation for the New Year entitled "Recycled", which might include some of the live Reading tracks. This was never issued. The Reading concert was eventually released on the 3 16 DVD in 2001. Planned albums by group member side projects (JP:"New Order related products") The Other Two (Gilbert and Morris) and Electronic (Sumner with Johnny Marr) would be released in 1999 as announced on the show. Peter Hook and David Potts would encounter difficulties with Monaco's second and final album, eventually released in 2000. 
*The group played a live show at Alexandra Palace on New Years Eve as announced although it would be their last until July 2001.
