Polish Blue Monday 7"

I've just bought a Polish Blue Monday/Theives Like Us 7" promo off eBay. Apparently there were only 60 made? I know its a 45RPM record, so that rules out it being the full 7 and a half minutes, so now I'm confused. Does anyone own this record? Is the edit the same as the Japanese version? Thanks for your time :-)

they only had 60 record players in Communist Poland, everybody had to share with each other, it was a socialist paradise.

lol :D good one

I have it. Can't remember if it actually runs at 33rpm, but it's just the regular 12" versions of both tracks!

Sorry, thought that was a command, until I realised Polish was 'from Poland' rather than 'make shiny'... I had my duster ready...

Yeah, I think it is at 33rpm? I've got it somewhere (not the promo, but the one with the red and white picture sleeve)...

if you have this version, it is the edit:

7": PL 1988 (Tonpress DS-25-A) [promo] *** 5:05 Blue Monday

otherwise its the other version with the regular mix..

right, ok so is this edit the same as the Japanese one? Were there only 60 made of this version as well? Does anyone know what was on the B-Side? Or was there no B-Side?

Okay, I don't believe anybody actually has a copy of the famed Japanese promo - indeed it might not even exist?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but my memory's hazy at posts from last year - anyone?

See here for the lowdown on Blue Monday 7"s.#

Ah yes, it was the UK promo that probably doesn't exist - DOH!

So, yeah, the Polish promo has a unique edit and no b-side! :)

I have a copy of the Japanese one. Believe there is only 20 or 30 in existance. Bought it at Camden market in London 1993 for 10 pounds!
