Hey Everybody,

My Brother got New Order's "Blue Monday" single yesterday. It's and original Factory Records pressing (1983 Fac 1973).

Anyways, I was playing it on my turntable, on side A, but "The Beach" came on insted of "Blue Monday" and I flipped it to the B-Side and "Blue Monday" came on insted of "The Beach"

I know it's basically the same song but any fool would know that "Blue Monday" starts with that Drum Machine going "Du-du-dudududududududu-du-du-du-du"

I was looking to see if there was any printing mistakes on any of these singles but I can't see to find one. Maybe all of them are like this. I dunno.

If anyone knows anything about this then please help me out. Email me back.

It's probably worth something to somebody. Throw it up on ebay.

So they put the stickers on the wrong sides?

Making the rounds?

I seem to remember a post strangely similar to this one popping up on NOOL about 6 months ago too and that poster was told it was in fact, the very common second pressing and seeing as its the best selling 12" ever, you can imagine just how common it is. Now these two posts in the same day. I think Spencer's Ebay idea has already crossed this guys mind.

from what i remember, this is the very, very original pressing: it led to a lot of confusion in clubs etc with DJs swearing blind that the non-lyric version was categorically "blue monday" and so on.

not sure how much it's worth, but it's a genuine piece of factory history.

nb: when i say "remember", i mean "remember from reading about it during my factory-obsessive days". i mean, i wasn't going clubbing in manchester when i was eight years old.

i was too busy drinking.

as is mine. can't the middle just be poked out and put back in again the "right" way?

"What was that?"
"'Blue Monday.'"
"That was an original pressing!"
