The original, groundbreaking version of this amazing song by New Order was released in 1983. It was a lot of fun attempting to recreate this classic using modern technology!

Nice cover. The cover also shows how great Blue Monday is. No note too much.

Thanks! And the original was so incredibly well produced, without all the technology we have today too!

Yep, this is good. Well done.
When this was first released I got it on 12" and played it so much it virtually wore out.
