Perfect Kiss (truncated extended version)

~ Recording by New Order

Annotation

Per wikipedia, "Lasting nearly 9 minutes, the full 12" single version of the song is longer than even Blue Monday, New Order's 1983 dance epic. This version also appears on the vinyl edition of Substance, with the CD pressings deleting 44 seconds of the climactic finale, due to time limitations of the CD format in 1987 (future reissues of Substance did not restore the missing 44 seconds, even though newer CDs would allow for it). The full version was eventually released unedited on the 2-disc deluxe edition of Low-Life, marking its first appearance on CD." (2023 editions of Substance also include the full version on CD.)
