New Order's tenth single. Released on 28 October 1985. The first of three collaborations with US remixer John Robie. This was the first New Order single to be drastically remixed from the album version for single release.
Peaked at # 63 of the UK singles charts.
Unlike previous releases, with sleeve artwork, it is packaged in a generic gloss black die-cut sleeve, with credit to Peter Saville Associates for the typography on the centre labels. For many years, it was rumoured that Peter Saville disliked the remixes so much that he refused to create artwork for it. However, on the 17th of April 2020, there was a livestream of New Order's MIF17 appearance at Old Granada Studios in July 2017. In a post livestream conversation between, Saville and Liam Gillick, Saville denied the rumour stating that, "I never had the authority to say that there shouldn't be a sleeve. No, all I can presume is that one was not asked for.".
