NEW ORDER: FACTD 275 MASTER (3 January 1989) Format: Fuji Super XG L‑250 Betacam (H351) Type: Factory Records digital release master Date: 3 January 1989 Era: Technique period (Fine Time / Round & Round / Run / Vanishing Point) A rare and historically important Factory Records master tape labelled FACTD 275, recorded on high‑grade Fuji Super XG L‑250 Betacam mastering stock. FACTD catalogue numbers correspond to official Factory Records digital release masters, making this an authentic New Order production asset rather than a dub, promo, or consumer copy. The 1989 date places it directly in the Technique era — one of New Order’s most significant creative periods. Tapes of this type may contain promo edits, broadcast versions, alternate mixes, or pre‑release material. Master‑grade New Order tapes from this era are exceptionally scarce and highly sought after by collectors, museums, and Factory historians. Provenance: Acquired directly from Kathy Skelly, partner of Mark Simmons, who handled Factory Records video production assets.
