Arch Stanton Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 And seriously, on a New Order FB group a video was posted to commemorate the 40th anniversary of their single "Temptation". However, rather than play either of the versions which came out in 1982, the musical accompaniment to the video is the dreadful 1987 remix which appeared on their compilation LP "Substance". I opined as such and it looks like Bernard agrees with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had sort of thought that U boat hunting in them days was a bit of pot luck, and that they would have been the safest option if you had to be in the Navy. Hopefully this was the outstanding film and not the lesser TV adaptation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was watching the vid of them doing Rock around the Ckock (in about 1986 or 7) with Bernard wearing some obscenely short shorts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
