Now Available: New Order, 12”x2 Deja Vu

Earlier this week, we gave you the 411 on Rhino’s upcoming box set reissue of New Order’s MOVEMENT, and we also told you about how – in advance of the album’s original release – the band released a handful of 12” singles, but the songs on those singles didn’t find their way onto the album. To echo those events, we started re-releasing these singles in advance of our reissue of MOVEMENT. The first two – the two version of “Ceremony” – hit brick-and-mortar and virtual record store shelves last Friday, and the other two arrived today.

Which two? Glad you asked!

"Everything's Gone Green" 
Originally released on Factory Benelux in December 1981, this 12" featured "Everything's Gone Green," which had previously been on the reverse of the band's second 7" single "Procession" in September 1981, and "Cries And Whispers" and "Mesh" whose titles were flipped on the cover causing confusion amongst fans and compilers ever since. This 12" will feature remastered audio on heavyweight vinyl.

"Temptation" 
Featuring the full versions of both tracks this 12" was first release in May 1982 and were the first self-produced released recordings. With "Temptation" being a cast iron New Order classic, this is an essential part of any New Order collection. This 12" will feature remastered audio on heavyweight vinyl.

So there you go: once again, it’s 12” x 2! And don’t forget: the MOVEMENT box set is just around the corner!
