Murder, 12'' single
release date: May 1984
format: digital (FBN 22)
[single rate: 2,5 / 5] [2,72]
producer: New Order
label: Factory Benelux - nationality: England, UK

Tracklist: A) 1. "Murder" (2,5 / 5) - - B) 1. "Thieves Like Us" (Instr.) (3 / 5)

Single release by New Order as FBN 22 on the Belgian sub-label Factory Benelux. At this point I had just bought new singles and albums as they were released without listening to them first. As long as it was New Order, everything was in order... After this my expectations were beginning to calm down. I think the B-side clearly is the best, although, it's an instrumental version of the previous single release. Like the previous single "Thieves Like Us", both tracks are included on the 2008 'Collector's Edition' of Power, Corruption & Lies, but somehow it's not included on the 2005 compilation album Singles, which should be a a compilation of all single releases.
