New Order – Confusion 12” Single Vinyl Record

New Order – Confusion 12” Single Vinyl Record

Originally released in August 1983, “Confusion” was the follow-up to Manchester electronic dance music legends New Order’s breakthrough hit “Blue Monday.” Uniquely, the song saw both Peter Hook and Bernard Sumner playing bass guitars and is produced by the masterful, influential New York DJ Arthur Baker. 

The two tracks on side A (“Confusion” and “Confused Beats”) are mixed together, which when played in sequence, act as a thirteen and half minute long remix by Arthur Baker. This new reissue remastered from the original master tapes at Abbey Road Studios.

“Confusion” has improved with age: its wholehearted, charmingly gauche embrace of electro illustrates the impact of New York’s nightlife on the band.

Pressed on Classic Black Vinyl.
