Peter Hook Reveals the Truth About New Order's Get Ready, Joy Division & The Split

Peter Hook joins The Mixtape for an unforgettable conversation covering Joy Division, New Order, the return of Peter Hook & The Light to Australia, and the legacy of one of alternative music's most influential catalogues. With Peter Hook & The Light currently touring Australia and the new New Order Best Of compilation released today, Hooky reflects on performing Get Ready in full, why the album felt like a "second honeymoon" with Bernard Sumner, the songs that New Order never played live, and why revisiting the record has changed his perspective. We also dive into: • Why Get Ready has become one of his favourite albums to perform • The New Order split and whether he'd change anything • Martin Hannett's genius and chaos in the studio • Grace Jones covering "She's Lost Control" • Joy Division cover versions that impressed him • The influence of the Sex Pistols on his life and career • Collecting vinyl and the records he treasures most As always on the show, Peter also builds his own Mixtape, revealing the songs that shaped his life—from Steppenwolf and Neil Young to Monaco, Jonathan Richman and Nico.
