The hand that wrote From Heaven to Heaven… is ‘spinning’ the tunes on 41 Rooms and a fair proportion of the podcast’s initial listenership will have bought the book from its initial run, in 2011 (thanks for that) and very coincidentally, the last copy was sold the day 41 Rooms first went live – February 9, 2016 – itself thirty five years to the day since I first saw New Order play live, at Heaven, London.

At that point there were no plans for a second edition (or third, if you include the ‘100 Numbered Editions’ private run) but over the years it became apparent that the book was being sought after. So, in November, 2024 said second edition took flight via Damaged Goods and their offshoot book publishing arm and can still be bought here and is also available to order via all good book stores.

Also, here is the book’s Facebook page, a radio interview I did with XFM’s John Kennedy is here and an online interview I did with Artrocker is archived further down this page.
