Greg Wilson - Credit To The Edit Vol.3 (Tirk - 2018) • Available here: https://fanlink.to/CTTE3 • When the idea of a third Credit To The Edit compilation came up, ‘Getting Away With It’, which I’d immediately identified as my preferred closing track, was top of my shopping list - so it goes without saying just how pleased I am that we’ve been able to license this, one of the highlights of the Factory Records’ catalogue during its latter years. • The Electronic project brought together a pair of ‘80s Manchester music icons, Bernard Sumner, the vocalist with New Order, and Johnny Marr, the guitarist with The Smiths. ‘Getting Away With It’ was their first single, released in late ’89, and featured Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys, who co-wrote the lyrics from the presumed perspective of Marr's former songwriting partner, Morrissey, suggesting that he's been getting away with his persona of being miserable for years. • It’s such a wonderful feel good tune, and by that I don’t mean a hands in the air type anthem, but rather something that subtly probes beneath the surface of the emotions, and really warms the spirit with its euphoric melancholy. It’s a hidden classic of the Madchester era – something that you don’t hear anything like as often as you’d expect to, or at least as I’d expect to, despite it achieving chart success on both sides of the Atlantic (#12 UK, #38 US, #7 US Dance). • My edit combines the different sides of the 12” I’d first fell in love with. I knew I wanted a long intro, getting it all to unfold slowly, fluidly, so that the track creeps up on you unawares. The idea being to mix it out of the previous track so it grooves along for a couple of minutes, keeping things on a level, before the strings enter and the whole vibe lifts and swells. I also wanted to create a reprise two thirds through, so it seems like the track is just about to conclude when the piano and bass, in their understated glory, strike up, before the drums re-enter and we’re off again for a further 3 and a half minutes. There was a specific type of energy I wanted it to generate via my arrangement, the intention was always to make it an end of night / closing tune, so it’s almost like rewinding and playing again, or a ‘one more tune’ within a tune. • • That was back in 2011, and ‘Getting Away With It’ consequently became a signature edit for me that’s been much requested over the last 7 years. That it’s now getting an official release is the cherry on the cake, its only previous availability via a limited vinyl pressing on KAT in 2012, as ‘I Love You More Than You Love Me’. • Written Produced by Bernard Sumner • Mixed by Pete Schwier • Published by Copyright Control • Factory Records 1989 • Licensed courtesy of Warner Music • http://gregwilson.co.uk
