New Order: Blue Monday 88 (1988)

In 1988, "Blue Monday" was officially remixed by Quincy Jones and John Potoker under the title "Blue Monday 88."

It's OK and indeed, very similar to the original, but I wonder why they did it. Having said that, it is much better than the ridiculous 95 version.

There are two other versions of this track on my Canadian 12", plus Touched by the Hand of God (Single Version). Once again, Discogs screws up and credits this record to NewOrder. Sigh. Judging by the cover, using Discogs logic, the band should be NewOrder. Even the label credits the record to New Order. That site needs to hire a librarian.
