Run or Run 2

I also remember reading that the moon was made of cheese and that the wearing of apparel bearing the Burberry moniker was once a mark of class, so what do I know?

Now, I could make the 300-mile round trip to my hometown to pick up my copy of Run 2 and my good record player, connect the latter to my computer and carefully rip the audio from the former, turn the .wav files into high-quality mp3s and listen to them to my heart’s content on the move…

…or I could thrown myself on the mercy of the NOOL court and ask one of you kind souls to save me the effort. Big kisses, heartfelt respect and maybe some stuff from my digital archive in return.

yes there are people here who can help you out. i for one am eternaly grateful to R M.

Note to file:

Run 2 was a complete waste of time and resources...It's not that much different from the original album version.

I only bought the damn thing for the B-Side..."MTO"

John Denver claiming royalties on a possible similarity is laffable...What a crock of shit!!! Where in the hell did they come up with this???

They can release this crap but can't put out GIAUE 12inches.

((((e))))

I love the instrumental finale on the album version but i also love the feel of Run2 as well.

Fantastic video

No it wasn't. The single came out long before the John Denver case. It was just Factory doing their usual quirky thing, and releasing a limited edition New Order single.

How? If you don't mind me asking.

The only reason to own \run 2 12" is MTO IMHO. Not the wanky Minus Mix though.

Answer me, why don't you answer me?

Well, Run2 is good if you're in the mood for a jolly little pop romp and Run is good if you want something a bit cooler...

I like 'em both; fave depends on me mood!

I managed to pick up copies of both the 12" and 7" last weekend! I was with a mate who is a bit older than me and was surprised - it was the first time he had seen them too.

that's it no rarities for you then. :D

Aw, c'mon, there is plenty to share for everyone!

Isn't there?

Run 2's drums sound so much better, more edgy and hard hitting, Run 1 is pretty dull compared, but to be honest, i'm really not a fan of Run altogether, probably the only song on Technique I do not listen to.
