A COLLECTION OF NEW ORDER 7" and 12" VINYL SINGLES (13), PLUS ONE STRANGE FRUIT JOHN PEEL SESSION EP - 14 VINYL RECORDS IN TOTAL
I've finally decided its time to downsize my vinyl collection to a more manageable level.  A collection that I've accumulated since the 80's, to mainly concentrate on my vinyl albums going forwards.  I have already listed my collection of Smiths Singles (see my other Auction), and this is my collection of New Order singles from the same era.  The magnificent Manchester 2 as they were known!!
The records are all 100% original, just as I bought them when they were released.  Mostly 12" vinyl, but the earliest 2 records are 7" vinyl. Re-evaluating them as I have, its apparent a lot of care and expense went into the cover designs - I guess one reason why Factory Records never made much money!!
I'm not an expert on grading records and appreciate that there does seem to be a number of grading systems out there that dealers use, but I've tried to describe the condition of both the vinyl and sleeves fully below.  I would have liked to have shown close up's of each record and sleeve individually, but Ebay only allows 24 photo's and I haven't the time nor the energy to list each record individually in its own sale.
If anyone would like a close up of any individual record or more detailed photo's, I'm happy to oblige, so contact me via Ebay and I will provide.  I'm not trying to hide anything here, and actually I was always a fairly careful owner of all my records.
Most of these singles haven't been played for over 30 years, until just recently when I gave them a quality control listen.  Like my Smiths collection, they caused an outbreak of heavy reminiscence!!  All are still in very good condition and play well, and I'm happy to sell them on to someone who loves New Order (as a collector or a listener).
All the records are on Factory, except the John Peel Session one, so I've listed them below in FAC order.  The Peel one is listed last.  Anything of note, I mentioned too.
FAC 33 - released 1981 (7")
A      Ceremony
B      In a Lonely Place
The vinyl itself is in excellent condition and plays beautifully on both sides.   The Embossed Gold Cover has some slight signs of wear on the edges, and a couple of minor blotches but nothing significant or distracting.  The record label itself shows no sign of wear on either side.
FAC 63 - released 1983 (7" - 33rpm)
A      Temptation
B      Hurt
The vinyl itself is in very good condition and plays beautifully on both sides (maybe the odd crackle on run in and run out).   The Embossed Cover has some slight signs of wear on the edges, but nothing significant or distracting and maybe some yellowing on the outer edges too.  The inside of the cover has some yellowing along the inner edges but nothing too awful. The record label itself has a little evidence of yellowing too.
Unusually for a 7" single, this plays at 33rpm.
FAC 73 - released 1983 (12" Die Cut Sleeve)
A      Blue Monday
B      The Beach
Matrix A2/B1
Again the vinyl itself is in very good condition and plays beautifully on both sides. 
The Outer Die Cut Cover (made to look like a Floppy Disk - remember them!!) has some minor signs of wear on the edges, but nothing too significant or distracting.  Where the Floppy Disk hole is there is also slight wear. The original inner cover sleeve has some evidence of scuffing too.  However considering both sleeves are predominantly black it still looks pretty good.  The record label itself shows a few minor finger print marks on either side.

FAC 123 - released 1985 (12" Embossed Sleeve)
A      Perfect Kiss
B      The Kiss of Death / Perfect Pit
Once More the vinyl itself is in excellent condition and plays beautifully on both sides.  
The Outer Embossed Cover has some slight signs of wear on the top and bottom edges, but nothing too significant or distracting.  There is also evidence a bit of yellowing around the upper and right edges (where the record comes out).  Mainly due to how I stored them in the shelf I suspect. The inside of the cover has some yellowing along the inner edges but nothing significant. The original white inner slip sleeve has some evidence of yellowing too. The record label itself has slight scratches around the spindle hole on both sides.

FAC 143 - released 1985 (12")
A      Shellshock
B      Shellshock

Once More the vinyl itself is in excellent condition and plays beautifully on both sides.  
Again the Outer Cover has some tiny signs of wear on the edges, but nothing significant or distracting.  There is also evidence a bit of yellowing around the upper and right edges (where the record comes out).  Mainly due to how I stored them in the shelf I suspect. The inside of the cover has some yellowing along the inner edges but nothing significant. The original inner slip sleeve has some evidence of yellowing too. The record label itself has a little evidence of yellowing too.

FAC 153 - released 1985 (12")
A      State of the Nation
B      Shame of the Nation
Once More the vinyl itself is in excellent condition and plays beautifully on both sides.  
The Outer Cover has some tiny signs of wear on the edges, but nothing significant or distracting.  The inside of the cover has some yellowing along the inner edges but nothing significant. The original inner white slip sleeve has some evidence of yellowing but no other issues, the record label has similar age related minor yellowing on both sides.
FAC 163 - released 1986 (12")
A      Bizarre Love Triangle
B      Bizarre Dub Triangle
Always one of my favourites.
Once More the vinyl itself is in excellent condition and plays beautifully on both sides.  
Again the Outer Cover has some signs of wear on the edges, but nothing significant or distracting.  The inside of the cover has some yellowing along the inner edges but nothing significant. The original inner slip sleeve has some evidence of yellowing too and a few small blotches. The record label itself has a little evidence of yellowing too.

FAC 183 - released 1987 (12")
A      True Faith
B      1963

Happily the vinyl itself is in excellent condition and plays beautifully on both sides.  The B Side IMHO is one of their strongest.
The Outer Cover is in pretty good condition with a few signs of wear and tear near the edges.  The back shows signs of yellowing and marks along the top and bottom edges. The white inner slip sleeve is in pretty good condition too with slight hints of yellowing, as is the record label on both sides - Factory seemed to like White a lot!!.  
FAC 193 - released 1987 (12")
A      Touched by the Hand of God
B      Touched by the Hand of Dub
Once more the vinyl itself is in excellent condition and plays beautifully on both sides.  
The Outer Cover has some minor signs of scuffing but nothing too significant or distracting.  There is also tiny bit of yellowing around the edges on the back cover (white again).   The inside of the outer cover has some yellowing along the inner edges but nothing significant. The original inner white slip sleeve also has some signs of yellowing.  The record labels on both sides look fine.
FAC 223 - released 1988 (12" - 33rpm)
A      Fine Time
B      Don't Do It / Fine Tine
Again the vinyl itself is in excellent condition and plays beautifully on both sides.  Unusually this single plays at 33rpm.
The Outer Cover has very minor scuffing on the back cover.  The inside of the outer cover has some tiny yellowing along the inner edges but nothing significant. The original inner silver slip sleeve is in pretty good condition with only a tiny amount of scuffing in evidence.  Both Record labels look almost pristine (Pink A Side and Purple B Side).
FAC 263 - released 1989 (12")
A      Round and Round
B      Best and Marsh
Again the vinyl itself is in excellent condition and plays beautifully on both sides.  
The Outer Cover has very minor scuffing on the edges and corners.  The inside of the outer cover has some tiny yellowing along the inner edges but nothing significant. The original inner orange slip sleeve is in pretty good condition.  Both Blue record labels look in very good condition.
FAC 263 - released 1989 (12" - 33rpm)
A      Run 2 / Run 2 Extended Version
B      MTO / MTO Minus Mix
Again the vinyl itself is in excellent condition and plays beautifully on both sides.  Again this plays at 33rpm.  Both tracks are quite long on each side, so I think this is why.
The Outer Cover has very minor scuffing on the edges and corners and as it is a white cover shows hints of yellowing and age.  There is one minor scratch across the 'N' on the front cover, but nothing very significant. The inside of the outer cover has some tiny yellowing along the inner edges but nothing significant. The original inner gold slip sleeve is in pretty good condition - but has a few finger marks due to the metallic nature of the cover.  The record labels show evidence of minor smudging (I'm not sure why - maybe the original printing was flawed? Certainly the records have been nowhere near any liquid).
FAC 293 - 1990 (12")
A      World in Motion
B      The b-side
Probably the finest ever football song, alongside 'Three Lions'.  And for people of a certain age, the World Cup we should have won.  Lost to the pesky Germans on penalties again when totally outplaying them for 90 of the 120 minutes.
Again the vinyl itself is in excellent condition and plays beautifully on both sides.  
The Outer Cover has minor scuffing on the edges and corners - the top edge has a minor tear of about 1cm showing the cardboard underneath.  The inside of the outer cover has some tiny yellowing along the inner edges but nothing significant. The original inner paper slip sleeve has evidence of yellowing.  Both Blue record labels show aging, but nothing to detract.

SFPS001 - Strange Fruit  - 1986 (12")
A      Turn the Heater On / We All Stand
B      Too Late / 5-8-6
Historically an interesting record, documenting the New Order metamorphosis from what was a Joy Division sound alike to the dance Influenced band they became.  Originally a John Peel Session from 1st June 1982, released in conjunction with BBC records in 1986. By far the most interesting track is 5-8-6 where you can hear the seeds of what was later to become the fully realised big beats of Blue Monday
Again the vinyl itself is in excellent condition and plays beautifully on both sides.  
The Outer Cover has minor scuffing on the edges and corners and has evidence yellowing.  Again, the inside of the outer cover has some yellowing along the inner edges but nothing significant. The original inner paper slip sleeve has evidence of yellowing too.  Both record labels show aging, but are otherwise clean and tidy and there is certainly nothing to detract.
