A Two Disc Deluxe Package Of New Order Covers Benefits Children's Charity In Memory of Factory Records Maestro Tony Wilson

 

24 Hour Service Station is proud to announce the release of CEREMONY – A New Order Tribute

 

This album is dedicated to Tony Wilson, founder of Factory Records, who died of cancer in 2007, and is released  on

February 20th 2010 to celebrate what would have been Tony’s 60th Birthday.

 

A portion of the proceeds from album sales will benefit The Salford Foundation Trust's Tony Wilson Awards, established in his memory. The trust benefits children and young people who can demonstrate a special talent or ambition in the arts or creative skills. 

 

This beautiful Deluxe Double Disc Album of 32 tracks, features artists representative of musical genres from Electronica to Indie Rock who have been influenced by New Order. Participants from across America and Europe include New Order/Joy Division bassist Peter Hook, Detachments, Rabbit in the Moon, John Ralston, Sunbears!, The Cloud Room, GD Luxxe, The Dark Romantics, Pocket, Light Yourself On Fire, XOXO & Kites With Lights and many more!

 

*  Packaging includes rare archival photos of New Order by rock star photographer Kevin Cummins plus one of the last images of Tony Wilson before he announced his illness, taken by Katja Ruge.

 

*  Hooky has recorded a sonically enhanced spoken word dedication to Tony Wilson to introduce the record.

 

*  Even after losing Tony, his legacy continues to bring music into people’s lives.  Since Ceremony will benefit talented young people, we included a “Ceremony” track on the album performed by children to show an example of those who have the opportunity of music in their lives.
