New Wave Outpost Forum

Hi wavers. I've been listening to different versions of New Order's "Temptation" on Grooveshark. There seem to be at least three of them, but I'm not sure: 7", 12", and Substance 1987. The Substance version is my favorite:

Could someone confirm how many different versions there are, and whether I'm corrected that the 7 and 12 both differ some Substance 87. Thank you!

At least 5 per this classic old thread (with friends we haven't seen in a long while and a couple we'll never see again, sigh)...

I count 18 "versions" [8D]

Thanks for the info! I should have thought to look on the New Order website. Of those 18 some are live and some are edits. So let's narrow the list down to studio versions and consider edited-down versions as the same recording. The :30 games version we can dismiss. So now the list is:

12" Version (8:47)
1987 Mix (6:59) edit (5:47)
1998 Version (4:09) [same as 1998 video version?]
2005 Video [does this use a previous recording?]
7" Version (5:16)
CJ Bolland Mix (7:41)
Original Version (7:26)
Secret Machines Remix (4:37) edit (3:53)
Something Wild Edit (3:28)

For some reason I can't get the samples on the NO site to play. I'll have to listen to each of these and compare.

Thanks again for your responses.
