Early New Order recording released on Kevin Hewick compilation

Some work with The Sound is also included. From Darla.com:
KEVIN HEWICK Tender Bruises and Scars - The Factory and Cherry Red
Records Studio Recordings 1980-1983
The Rarities Collection marks 25 years of Cherry Red Records. This
series will include a collection of rare and hard to find tracks that
were released on Cherry Red Records in the 1980s marking Cherry Red's
ability to forge a distinct style out of introspective, willowy pop.
This is the forth release in the Rarities series and is compilation of
Kevin Hewick's Factory and Cherry Red Records studio recordings made
between 1980-1983. Kevin was originally signed to Factory Records
beginning his career supporting the likes of Joy Division, whose first
post-Curtis recording is exhibited here in 'Haystack' as they backed
Kevin, before becoming the seminal band known today as New Order. By
February 1983 Kevin had signed with Cherry Red and was recording the
'Such Hunger For Love' album, he also went onto record with The Sound,
re-recording tracks such as 'Neath the Dancing Waves' and 'Amber' for a
Cherry Red 12" EP. This album includes not only these tracks but also
the Factory single, the Cherry Red single b-sides and an enhanced video
for the Factory Records single Ophelia's Drinking Song.
