- Matrix / Runout (Side A - Variation 3): FAC-73-A-1 MT.3 STRAWBERRY OUT VOTED!
This is the legendary highly sought after first edition of the 12" single Blue Monday by New Order with the die-cut sleeve that is meant to look like a floppy disk which supposedly lost money as it was so expensive to make. So much so that later editions have the more simple sleeve cover. The coloured strip is not random - it spells out the Catalog#, band name and both song titles. "Outvoted" in the runout refers to an error made by the Strawberry engineer, who brought up the fader too late and missed the first drumbeat. New Order took a vote as to whether the mistake should stay, and the yes vote prevailed.
