How does it feel to have Blue Monday 12 inch single?

Until today I could not answer that question, but as of 11:35 or thereabouts Eastern Standard Time, I was able to answer it: IT FEELS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, my fine friends, I was but a poseur until today, filled with envy at all those who had in their possesion the one New Order release that anyone not interested in NO gave a hoot about. When I went scouring the vinyl section at a new records store I had no notion to even look for New Order, what with all the Olivia Newton John and Willie Nelson blocking the way (the owners of that store must have a serious jones for Willie, there were 50 or so albums of his in there), but there it was, the familiar computer-disk cover hiding the gorgeous majesty within. And here's the best part: I only paid 5 dollars for it! You heard me right, $5 f**king dollars! Great day indeed, my friends....

(PS I'm at the local library, where they have a nice filtering system. Thus, I have to self-edit myself and cannot type f**k, s**t, motherf***er, god***, or various other favorites of mine)

Thats a fair deal!!! I just picked up 7 NO 12" singles for 45$Aus the other day. I was pretty stoked about that, but i do not have BM yet, no thtat i have not spent enough time scouring shops for it, or getting outbid on e-Bay when a copy does appear (i am after a die cut original, but maybe my standards are too high?). Good luck on future hunts

I've got 2 BM 12"...one is pristine new, virgin vinyl... but ALAS! none of them the die-cut sleeve version....

Come and think of it, I don't think the die-cut sleeve was ever released in Australia....am I right?

what colour inside sleeve did you get?

Silver-grey, back in March 1983 on the day it came out. I played it at least once every single day for 104 days. Absolutely loved it then, it was so ground-breaking. Coat is already on when you now it's coming up live now. How did it feel, and how does it feel now ?!

It's like what I imagine shagging the same partner for 20 years would be like !

I've got 3 - one die-cut, one not, and one with mispressed labels.

None of them have the original inner sleeve though. :(

There was a black inner sleeve and a grey one, I opted for the black (but I may go back for the grey next week, just for the sake of it)

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

think the silver was the original one, but I have the black one too (just in case) you should definitely get that one if its the die cut sleeve

any more you're lacking now you are feeling in this confessional mood?

Well, a fly woman on my arms.....oh, you mean NEW ORDER-Related stuff! Nope, not a thing.............

doesn't have to be new order related does it? it does? oh sorry.

you sir are very unusual, most people start with the blue monday 12" & then get the other stuff but you've done it the other way round!

I have the silver inner sleeve one. Ooh, yes. I've also got Confusion (which idiots of eBay also say was released in 1993 because there's a big '93' on the cover), Round & Round, Atmosphere, 1981-1982 EP and Regret. I saw True Faith in a record shop in Walthamstow for a couple of quid, but it had no sleeve. Damn them!

blue monday who hasnt got it
