I'll send you a real good mp3 of it. It's a pretty decent song. Maybe a little repetitive.

...I'm actually considering buying this...Does anyone know if there are bootleg/pirate versions of this out there? I'm looking online, but so far haven't turned up anything on possible fakes.

From what I've read, they (New Order) didn't really care for the version, and decided not to have it released. I've read more than one account that you [i] could[/i] re-create this mix from commercially available versions of the song.

we used to make 30 minute mixes with a four track and the different versions (ie: The Beach etc). Im guessing this is an actual factory release. I'm also guessing that they didnt do much to it but punch it in quicker and fade it out sooner.....(still ---would love to hear it)

the singles they choose to release in Japan are always interesting, but rarely do they seem to be new remixes or any new tracks on these releases ---usually the standard UK/US fair.

one of my faves that I own is ABC's 'Valentines Day' which I thought should have been released worldwide with a big big dancefloor remix. ( of course we all know 'Lexicon Of Love' was bloated with single material....so I understand why they didnt do V.day

Donna Summer really needs to sue them for ripping off "Our Love".

Our Love is one of Donna's best pre-synthpop disco songs. Too bad it was never released as a single. Moroder sure helped form the new wave era. While other 'pioneers' in the 70s (won't mention any names) were just making experimental sounds with synths and calling them songs, Moroder was constructing perfectly crafted pop tunes with full vocal, melody and layers of harmonies.

It was released as a single in Spain. And I agree, Moroder needs to start suing everybody before the statute of limitations runs out.
