I feel that all the current polls are very important in learning about everyone's preferences when it comes to NEW ORDER, but I feel that an important one that has been overlooked (while Ive been on here anyway) is this particular one!
Vote away & all your comments are welcome!!!
ENJOY!!!!!!!!

This has been discussed ad nauseam, but not done as a poll as far as I am aware. Someone's bound to want to know why 1963 hasn't been included though !
I was just gonna ask meself, but I reckoned it's the same reason why EGG was left out - subsequently released as an A side. I was gonna vote "Hurt" purely cos of that classic "one-two-three-four" intro, but in the end plumped for "other", i.e. EGG.
"Lonesome Tonight"...as usual. By the way "Player in The League", "1963", "Such A Good Thing" are also missing!
The Regret NewOrder mix is exactly the bloody same a the A side!!
Trust me I have the cassette single!!

Flip the tape over and listen to it again, knucklehead.
Well, it doesn't matter, as this is the first such poll i've seen on it anyway - I've nominated "Dont Do It" cos it's great - really sinister voices on there! Why can't all New order's "experimental' b-sides be as good as this?

That was the reason why both 1963 & EGG were left out. Something I should have explained from the beginning. This is a b-side & PURELY B-SIDE based poll!

If a song originates as a B-Side, is it not always a B-Side in a collector's mind. And what if the version released as an A-Side at a later date is a different version from the B-Side? Isn't the B-Side still a B-Side since that version of the song was never an A-Side?

That is why I included the 'OTHER NOT LISTED' box. Of course fans are entitled to their own opinion, but this is my opinion. You do have a very good point, but I just wanted to produce a poll that concentrated on B-sides & B-sides alone, whether there are different versions or not.
Lonesome Tonight is one of New Order's greatest tracks IMHO, not just B-sides, but I also think that Kiss of Death is completely under-appreciated.
Voted for In A Lonely Place. They could have labeled both sides as A-sides I think. Reminds me of a record that I bought and that was suspiciously cheap. Playing it and turning sides made me think I either missed something or drank too much: the same song on both sides. It was not a JD/NO recording however. Have there been misprints like that? (could be a thread if not done already?)
