New Order: Regret (1993)

This European pressing has four mixes of Regret. It's almost 15 minutes of Regret. I think this is a top-ten or top-twenty New Order track for me. The image used on the jacket has always mystified me. It does really match the lyrics at all.

Once again, Discogs refers to the band on this release as NewOrder. Jesus, here we go again.  Whoever entered this information ignored the front cover and the labels (which use all caps with uniform spacing between the letters, meaning that, in Discogs' view at least, the band probably should have been called: N E W O R D E R

Instead, someone looked at the back cover and saw NewOrder, and used that. OK then. Even the official music video uses New Order as the band's name.
