Aside from the new album buzz that's gripped this site, does anyone know if this has been officially released recently? This is the second one on eBay I've spotted:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=58642&item=4067394509&rd=1
It mentions a brand new limited re-issue copy of Blue Monday (tracks Blue Monday and The Beach) and is selling as a Buy-It-Now for £14.99

This stinks, it really does. Note the lack of photo or anything to validate the claim it is a re-release. I'd want catalogue number before parting with any dosh, then again I can't see the point of parting with any dosh for it anyway.
i saw a brand new sealed copy of the blue monday 12" at a local record store. it didn't have any of the cut-outs though.
Could be this:
Blue Monday
New Order
Release date: 3-10-2003
Number of Discs: 1
Catalogue Number: WBRO20332
Label: WARNERS
12" £8.49
or this: Blue Monday New Order Release date: 23-6-2003 Number of Discs: 1 Catalogue Number: 203320 Label: IMPORT 12" £6.99

Just keep in mind that it's pretty easy to shrinkwrap stuff these days...
It does seem as if some of the 12 inchers (especially BM) are being pushed through the presses every other year or so. I guess it's to feed the DJ market and the art-work hungry buyers.

HMV and Virgin in the UK shrink wrap everything themselves in-store, so any old stock could re-surface and seem to the average punter to be 'new'. I'm not syaing that these stores would try to con the public, but it's quite possible to lay your hands on a bulk order of unsold stock, shrink wrap it and let fans and DJs presume that it's new.
