Back in 1988, 808 State remixed New Order classics Confusion and Blue Monday but we had to wait until 2004 before they saw the light of day. Predictably there was a very high demand for this release and it soon disappeared from record shop racks. Boomkat, the online independent music specialist now has a new supply. While stocks last!

BBC Manchester has a great interview with Graham Massey to tie into the recent release of the 808 State / New Order acid house remixes. The following extract explains the tracks' origins: "Dating back to 1988, the tunes were never intended for release but were staples of 808 State's early live gigs. 'We used to do them in our set really early on because it was just something that people would recognise,' says Massey. 'It was kind of catering a little bit because the rest of it was so abstract.' The Blue Monday remix was also used as an unofficial theme tune to Jon Da Silva’s legendary Hot night which ran at the Hacienda between June and December 1988 - acid house’s extended summer of love."
