New Order`s classic 12 inch Blue Monday is 20 years old this month.
This was a defining piece of musical history. I actually had a look at mine today - totally knackered sleeve (it`s the one in the shape of a 12 inch floppy disc) - played it to death for about 5 years !
For those that don`t know, the 1983 release (forget the 1988, 1995 and 2002 re-releases) remains the biggest selling 12 inch single of all time !

Children, when you suddenly remember ( prompted by the favourite song thread ) that the first single you bought was in 1964 you may join us complaining oldies. A very ancient kywy. ;-( P

My most fave record of all time!
I was fortunate to own 2 copies of this and I kept them both in plastic 12" sleeves to protect them. I had 2 `cos I bought one for a chick I was going out with at the time.
I still have one but sold the other on eBay just before Xmas. Can you believe I got £55.00 for it....... Amazing.
Never realised it was 20 yrs old though......

it was okay, there have been alot better music, the whole so called `mad`chester scene was all a huge hype created by the media.
Its like Oasis saying they are the greatest band in the world, when they haven`t even conquered the world.

Blue Monday was nothing to do with madchester.. it was out in 1983.. it had more to do with the electro scene and Arthur Baker..
and.. it is THE biggest selling 12" single of all time.. and an historic record..
