Got this reply from Warner Music:

We plan to release a Maxi single for Krafty in the US but are waiting to confirm our line-up.

I'll start the predictions for the tracklisting :D You yanks always get the best deal regarding New Order CD singles (admittedly when they even bother to release in the US ;)) usually getting every possible (and rare) version on one convenient CD. If you don't believe me simply look up discog info on the US CD singles of Crystal, World, Spooky, Revenge's Slave, Electronic's Feel Every Beat, Electronic's Getting Away With It and the True Faith 2001 CD. I think we're most likely looking at a Crystal-like mammoth Maxi-single for the States, with every version currently available plus the video. We know there'll be no b-sides, but maybe a "Guilt.." mix or dub? Perhaps not actually as the US version of the album is already getting a "Guilt.." mix.

1. Krafty (Single edit) (3:50)2. Krafty (The Glimmers 12" Extended mix) (6:55)3. Krafty (The Gilimmers Dub Version) (5:55)4. Krafty (Andy Green remix) (3:25)5. Krafty (Phones Reality remix) (7:08)6. Krafty (Riton Re-Dub Remix) (6:57)7. Krafty (Re-edit of album version) (4:51)8. Krafty (Album Version) (4:33)9. Krafty (CD-ROM Video)

Naturally since it's for the States and going by previous New Order album covers the artwork will have all subtley removed and include "Hey folks this is a NEW order CD" in triple font size :laugh: Not reflecting on US New Order fans intelligence but that's what they did with Brotherhood and PC&L anyway :uhoh:

Well, at least Technique got by unscathed.

We Yanks might get the better CD Singles, but I would trade that for the amout of opportunities you have to see them live.

I wouldnt be suprised if 'WFTSC' has been re-released as a CD/DVD special edition before the end of the year. Or with a 'bonus' disc of remixes.

I suggested to them to put the Riton Re-Dub, since it's not available anywhere.

As well as the True Faith 2001 remixes... what's the use of keeping those in the vaults?

But they didn't bother in 2001, so why would they bother now... :shrug:

Good news!

Also great news for those of us yet to pick up the black UK promo CD - the one featuring the Riton mix. If the US maxi features this track, the black promo should de-value to an affordable sub-GBP10. Down from the ludicrous GBP15-40 currently being paid on eBay.

Also be great to see Barney's Re-edit on it so it doesn't end up a Napster digital download exclusive.

Warner US should listen to these suggestions because they'll enhance international sales big time.
