[ndrwrld]

i had this in about 85'.
all gone now tho.

 

[Wiseman]

I think so. gotta open a box to check though.

 

[Dr Funk MD]

I've got a repress. I'm cool to a slightly lesser degree.

 

[mitsuko souma]

I was speaking to someone once who told me that this is (was?) the greatest selling 12-inch of all time. Like, more than Elvis or the Beatles. Can anyone confirm or deny? Sounds a little out there...

heard the same...timeless track

i have the '95 mixes with original

 

[SJN]

It is the best-selling 12" single ever, though partly because it wasn't ever released as a 7".

 

[mitsuko souma]

Are they ever gonna tour again or are they like totally, completely done?

 

[isoprax]

I bought mine for $3 off of some guy who didn't know any better

 

[basilisk]

I have the Dino Psaras version... *shifty eyes*

 

[dg0425]

I have the infusion rmx. yeah, not so cool.

 

[Shug]

I have the mashup with the 'We Want Your Soul' accapella over it. =\

...but I have Bizarre Love Triangle on 12", does that save me any face?

 

[~atp~]

I have the original version on a pressing from 1988 off Factory Communications. *shrugs*

 

[OhNo!]

83 original..thank-you.

willing to sell for the right price for those interested.

 

[Krzysiu]

ha! me too! bought it in a used record store in great condition.

a good ten dollar purchase, I think.

 

[diablo]

I own it.

But I'm awesome.

 

[Yourmamas]

Nope, I don't own it.

Unfortunately, I only own Substance on Vinyl

 

[derek]

pffft...vinyl; i have it on reel.

 

[Ditto Much]

I'm not cool I've never owned it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Monday_(New_Order_song)
But there is the wiki on it..

At nearly 7 and a half minutes in length, "Blue Monday" is one of the longest tracks to ever chart in the UK. It is recognised as the biggest selling 12-inch single of all time, but as Factory Records were not members of the British Phonographic Industry association, it was not eligible for an official gold disc. However, the Official UK Chart Company have estimated its total UK sales at over one million. In the all-time UK best-selling singles chart they published in 2002, "Blue Monday" came 76th.

I seriously have a reel-to-reel player sitting in the corner with a bunch of old reels from my parents.

Peter Hook is playing here in Vancouver this month.

I believe its a dj gig 24 hour party people tour.

Didn't they tour last year (?) in support of their last album? Or am I just having a fantasy?
I still remember their last T.O. appearance at Kingswood, when Barney tried to chedw his face off (and Sunscreem opened and "stole" the show)...

 

[The Truth]

They were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame and played some gigs last fall in the UK..doing a few Euro shows this summer plus a possible new album/tour in the fall

He's actually touring around DJing all sorts of venues and did the same a few months back in Toronto.

He'll be in Miami. I know the guy from the booking agency who takes care of him.

Cheers,

I've got the 83 version and an 88 remix version.

I found the 83 version in a huge pile of records that the student-run nightclub at the university where I work was getting rid of. I was a kid in a candy store that day.
