Description

🎶 The Single That Changed Everything…

Own a genuine piece of music AND design history – not just another copy! This is a UK 1983 12" pressing of Blue Monday by New Order, complete with:

 

🧠 Matrix / Runout:

FACT 73 A2 / B2

✨ Includes “.THE ROBOT.” & “STRAWBERRY GG” etchings – an early and sought-after variation from MVS Pressing Ltd!

 

📀 Vinyl: VG+ to EX

Beautiful playback with minimal surface wear. A strong, clean example that sounds brilliant on a good system. No skips, warps, or deep marks – just pure '80s synth magic. There is some surface noise in the first few bars of each side, clears quickly. 🎛️

 

🧩 Sleeve: VG+ to EX

Original DIE-CUT outer sleeve is fully intact and striking. Comes with early all-black inner sleeve (38–41g stock) — a rare variant used in initial pressings. A sleek and iconic presentation. 🖤🧩

 

🧷 Why This Copy?

 

💥 REAL early pressing – not a remix, not a reissue

💥 Features the legendary Peter Saville die-cut design

💥 Includes rare matrix identifiers + pressing plant clues

💥 Visually sleek, sonically powerful

💥 For New Order fans, design nerds, and synth-wave lovers

 

🔊 Fun Fact: Still the best-selling 12" single of all time. This pressing helped redefine the entire format. And yes – it features a sample of Kraftwerk’s Uranium ⚡

 

💽 I am a record fan/collector too and I know how important it is that 'the new arrival' makes you happy and pleased to have it in your collection, so if you need anymore information please contact me anytime.

 

Your record has been carefully cleaned in a HumminGuru Sonic vinyl cleaner, visually inspected and a fully play-tested. Every vinyl is sent in a Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (Mofi) high-quality antistatic inner sleeve and a quality outer sleeve to keep your record pristine.
