They Find It All a Different Story

I can't begin to say how much this song meant to me back in the early '80s--I played that 12" single of it, well, I was going to say to death but that seems wrong in the case of poor Mr. Curtis. So here it is in 4 versions, because I can.

1984 New Order style, when they were young and punky and snooty and said things to open a show 3 hours late like, "You paid for it you waited for it and now you're fucked." Sorry for the annoying intro ramp.



Then Dean & Britta play it like it's Joy Division's "Atmosphere" for an adoring crown in Taiwan.



While Radiohead give it more oomph for the BBC.



And then our heroes New Order are back in 2002, looking positively middle-aged and chubby. But they opt to rock anyway.
