This New Order 12 inch EP is a must-have for any fan of the band's early work. Featuring the songs Procession, Temptation, Everything's Gone Green, Hurt and Mesh, this vinyl record is in very good plus (VG+) condition for both the record and sleeve grading. The black vinyl material and 45 RPM speed make for an authentic listening experience, while the stereo audio channels ensure high-quality sound. Released on Factory Records and housed in a cardboard sleeve, this EP is a true gem from the 1980s alternative rock and pop era. Perfect for collectors or anyone looking to expand their music collection, this New Order EP is a rare find from Australia. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own a piece of musical history.
I am selling all of my vinyl records. My Easter listings include all of my New Order, Joy Division and The Cure albums and 12 inch singles.

As always, I am very happy to combine shipping for winners of multiple items. Please wait for me to send the invoice. Thanks, Ash

From Wikipedia "The EP was put together for the American market as a compilation of three of New Order's early singles. It contains "Procession" from September 1981, plus the 12" versions of "Everything's Gone Green" (released December 1981) and "Temptation" (released May 1982) and two of the b-sides, "Mesh" and "Hurt". A second b-side to "Everything's Gone Green", "Cries and Whispers" is omitted, as is New Order's first single "Ceremony" / "In a Lonely Place". The sleeve was designed by Peter Saville and uses a painting from his then-girlfriend Martha Ladly.
The Village Voice critic Robert Christgau described this version of "Temptation" as being "where Manchester's finest stop hearing ghosts and stake their claim to a danceable pop of unprecedented grimness and power," noting that it was "the first real song this sharp-cornered sound-and-groove band has ever come up with."[2]
The EP also documents the band's break from producer Martin Hannett, who had produced Movement and both of Joy Division's studio albums. While Hannett produced "Everything's Gone Green", "Procession" and "Mesh", the other two songs on the EP were produced by New Order. Bernard Sumner remarked: "Martin's last track was "Everything's Gone Green" – fact he walked out halfway through the mix because Hooky and me asked him to turn the drums up"."
