Stunning version of She's Lost Control, different from the album. More electronic and an additional verse as bonus. One of the last recordings they made before Ian Curtis' suicide. Very special. Love it

I love this record, playing it countless times. For me, Atmosphere is more rarified than Love Will Tear Us Apart. Atmosphere is closest to the sense of loss and LWTUA is about loss from a safer distance. The snowscene cover art is also pitched perfectly - a cold, still beauty. -
My vinyl seems to be green when held up to a bright light, no red. Everything else matches however. -

Edited 18 years agoAlthough not exactly rare or hard to find, this 12'' is one of the most cherished in my collection simply for the fact that when I first purchased this record ( i still own the copy i purchased in 1987 )it was the beginning for me as an avid collector and DJ.
For those of us whom are fortunate enough to be able to play records such as this out in clubs and bars effectivley, it's great to be able to have on 12'' as opposed to any other format, for reasons relative to both sound and mixing.
