What is the difference between 586 and Video 586 and which one is teh best?

Video 586 is an instrumental track composed by Stephen Moris on his Apple computer for the opening of the Hacienda (if I remember well). I think it was played at this occasion, accompanied by video projections. It was the inspirational source for the later 586, which sounds more human and less robotic (less Kraftwerkian?), benefits from some production work and, of course, has got lyrics.

Thus, Video 586 can be seen as a very early working version of what would later become 586. Very interesting, imho.

Video ? Ask the label who released it.. it's called PRIME 586 in the first place...

The only idea :idea: I can get out of this, it's because this song is located on A Factory Outing and A Factory Video at the end, with super nice effects, so it's indeed the soundtrack of a video...

Wasn't 5-8-6 the trial run for what became Blue Monday anyway?? Something that the band wrote to test their drum machine or summat?
