    I think this is the best mix/version of the song. The perfect cut

      Does a 7” version of this exist at 45 rpm? I have an old Seeburg jukebox I would like to play it in.

        I know that this 7" version of Temptation is a different mix than on the 12" but, what about this shorter version of Hurt, listed here with a 4:42 run time. Is Hurt a different mix also or just an edited version of the 12" mix?

          Can anyone tell me if the 2009 reissues have the same debossed lettering on the cover as the original 1982 UK version?

            This 2003 comment has been superceded by the subsequent release of the "deluxe" 2-disk version of the Movement album, which includes the 7" version of Temptation on CD2, though to these ears it sounds like a vinyl rip rather than taken from the master tapes...

              This is a great little synthpop number, yet strangely it's never been anthologised. Its 12" equivalent has been, and so has the 1987 remake, yet not the original 7", which has a different feel to either of the more familiar versions (and no, it's not simply a cut-down version of the 12", it is a completely separate recording). Granted, it's not the best New Order single (by some distance), but it's still pretty good and deserves to be heard.
