Day 13.....
New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle (Shep Pettibone 12 Inch
Remix)
First I must say New Order’s “Blue Monday” would
definitely be in my Top 30 Vinyl 12 Inch singles if I allowed more than one 12
inch from each artist, however, the Shep Pettibone 12 inch remix of “Bizarre
Love Triangle” edges its way into my selection as it is a fabulous remix, it
takes the track into completely new territory for new order, full on dance/pop,
electronic perfection!
The single was released in November 1986 and unbelievably
only made number 56 in The UK Singles Chart, why, I have no idea. It is widely
regarded as one of New Order’s top 3 singles and a big fan favourite,
especially live, when Bernard Sumner does his “Dad Dancing”!! which is now, a tradition, when they play
that song live. Incidently it is this version that they play live.
The 12 Inch remix is nearly 7 minutes long and is backed
on the B Side with a dub version of “Bizarre Love Triangle”, which runs for
approximately 7 minutes.
I should also give a mention to the 12 inch versions of
“True Faith”, “The Perfect Kiss” and “Touched By The Hand Of God”, as they too
probably would have made the Top 30, all of them excellent, but I can only pick
one!
