It's been released to go with Hooky's new book about the Hacienda (my copy is on the way), which is set in a year by year basis and meant to be pretty good...

The Hacienda: How Not to Run a Club: Amazon.co.uk: Peter Hook: Books

http://www.fac51thehacienda.com/

‘Haçienda Acid House Classics’, compiled & mixed by Peter Hook, is a personal compilation of Hooky’s favourite Haçienda Acid tunes, culled from the much-venerated, late Eighties Acid House daze. The Hacienda's legendary image has been ingrained on the clubbing faithful with the likes of Mike Pickering, Graeme Park, and Jon Dasilva all making their names DJing at the club. Marking some 21 years of the genre and the club’s seminal involvement for all that time, Haçienda Acid House Classics portrays the definitive sound of Acid House and The Haçienda.

Spread over two CDs, highlights a new unreleased remix of the anthem 'Voodoo Ray' by A Guy Called Gerald, 'Baby Wants To Ride' by Frankie Knuckles featuring Jamie Principle, 'True Dub' by New Order, and 'Lack Of Love' by Charles B & Adonis. The album also includes two unreleased tracks of Hooky’s and his production partner Phil Murphy, 'Ways Of Making Music' and 'We’re On It' (both under the name of Man Ray).

There are a few set lists used in the book.. most, if not all, of them were compiled by me & Brady (with the help of peeps on here & tuneid :thumbsup: ). You can tell by the mistakes and capitalization etc... and any unknowns have just been missed out. Looks like they got some of them from the mixesdb site...

I know Parky played the Battle Remix on one set (june 91 i think?)

Also remember him reviewing the re-release of Last Rhythm in Muzik mag (1996) saying it was crap and reminds him of cheesy ravers.

Surely it's about time they brought out a Hacienda CD that just focused on the songs from the late 80's like the Century FM Mix?? :thumbsup:

The Man Ray stuff is the alias that Peter Hook & Phil Murphy use for studio productions.

Just finished the Hacienda book. Gets a bit sketchy in 94-95 (I blame Mrs Merton) but there's some real shockers in there. What went on in 1993 is beyond belief in places...

I've just also just started Mick Middles book about Factory and then it's on to Paul Morley's book about Joy Division. That should take me nicely to Christmas... :D

Hmmm. Debatable. There was a lot of crap music floating around in 1995 and the Saturdays in the main room could be a bit up and down I thought. Bobby Langley was doing a lot of the Saturdays then. I was back in fairly regular attendance at this point but spent most of my time down in the "Fifth Man". Graeme Park, when playing, still played some great sets around this period though, restoring my faith that there was still great dance music around....

For the record, the Hacienda actually shut on the night of Saturday 28th June 1997.

I was there.
