F* Baker.The original 12" is much better.

i like both. you can't make me choose!

have to say im with the original too, when the competition in select magazine to make your own new order compilation was done i put 1963 in as one of the tracks & the explanation (you had to explain why you picked them) was that this was a b-side from new order that any other band would love to have as an a -side.

& its one of the very very few songs by the order that the bird likes.

Have to say this is one of those weird things I have with this song....when the 94 and 95 Baker versions came out, I loved it, thought those were refreshing and rightfully replaced the 'dated-sounding' original version..... ...but recently I played my SUBSTANCE CD and when 1963 came on...I thought -WOW!! sounds GREAT....!!!.. I guess I have to vote for the original version...for the moment...

I fell in love with the original for its energy, but the '95 remix has such a better "sound" that it has to take the cake. And it still keeps the best bit at the end. I simply love the guitar intro, I guess it's just another perspective but I've played the remix heaps more than the original in terms of how long I've had it.

I think we can all agree that the '94 version sucks--why weren't the "I just want you to be mine...." verses put in place of the endless repeat choruses at the end?

neither- one of my least favourite no songs

I always thought 1963 was pretty special based on the only version I ever knew (Substance), until I heard the Arthur Baker re-mix (as well as seeing the film clip for the first time) when NO hosted an all-night music show we have in Australia called 'Rage' earlier this year. The Baker version is far more uplifting and has a sense of euphoria about it which is more typically NO, so that gets the vote.

I love both versions, but went for the Substance version simply because it was the 1st one I heard. Couldn't honestly separate them otherwise.

Original version for sure - a remix has to be outstanding to top a NO original.

I prefer the ‘95 remix : its “hookish” bassline (intro, at 1’25’’, 2’57’’ and at the end 4’45’’) ; its growing dramatic intensity with “violins” playing a kind of romantic tune (= love) at 2’26’’ and 3’29’’ but turning into a police siren (= drama) ; a drama underlined - more evidently than in the ‘87 version - by the gloomy keyboard at 2’42’’, 3’44’’ and culminating at 4’15’’. I’ve never heard the ‘94 version.

I prefer Arthur Baker's version.

It is strange, because it is probably the first remix that sounds more neworderish for me than the original version. Maybe because the original version was produced by Stephen Hague.

Originally posted by Razed In A New Division Of Agony I have to sway the original by far. The '94 remix is pretty close, but more song = better listening experiance. And the '95 version really dissapointed me. It lost that one synth riff (you guys have to know the one I mean..) that makes the whole song. Probably a least favorite remix actually, I even prefer the Armand Van Helden mix of Bizarre Love Triangle.

i think i know which one you are talking about... and it does make the song.
