New Order-Shellshock-Fac 143
Extended for your pleasure. Unlike the original release featured in John Hughes film ‘Pretty In Pink’ roughly a month prior to its official Factory Records release, the single release is almost ten minutes long. The American release is the edit from the film and was released by A&M Records, not Quincy Jones’ Qwest imprint. Also included is designer Peter Saville’s extended artwork that you see here in the photo. The inner sleeve continues photographer Geoff Power’s image and Factory’s catalog number. Produced by John Robie and New Order, this is electro at its best. B side features an edit titled ‘Shellcock’; what else should it be titled? Answer that one for me, folks. More to come.
