41 years in rotation !!! Sound fresh like 1983

It didn't need messing with. I only knew this version in the 1980's. This is and always will be the best version.

I bought the 12" when it very first came out....wore it out literally....and bought another. I was a teen and this Tune was the best thing to ever hit my ears and i still love it now, and forever. ❤

This track was way ahead of its time back then. So far ahead of its time that it almost seems like the remixes that were made only aspired to be comparable to the real thing at best. This is a masterpiece of musical creativity. Hell Yeah!

However - not only did they "do" this tune - but on the flipside of their extended vinyl LP .. re {quote] New Order - Blue Monday (Full 12-Inch EP) [1983] [unquote] THEY PHYSICALLY REVERSED THE SONG Thus the flipside of the 12" plays the other way & thus plays this exact song = sdrawkcaB.. It's title HAD to be different - so they called it "THE BEACH" !!!!!! OBVIOUSLY THIS SONG IS ALL ABOUT THE BEACH ANYWAY - thus easily plays in reverse Compare the two versions and the "reversed" flipside track - pre-echoes itself, because when played in reverse - anything that gets "played" on the original side that delays any echoes - these echoes now precede the tune (played in reverse) - hence it's got "altered" singing digitized inverted vocals in it too ... and all other echoes PLAY BEFORE THE SOUND - as they now precede the active signal that created them.. re: kzread.info/dash/bejne/o2SkzcOdiNTNmLA.html

ALL TRACKS are way ahead of their time - whenever I play-with (operative word = WITH = play-with) any music - as I do NOT play it the way countless others have followed along the blind commercial system - of playing a two channel stereo system by way of ONE CHANNEL - on the left-hand side & ONE CHANNEL on the right-hand side? Oh no - I either "play these" in total 360 degrees "analogue" surround sound (via my own invented multiple channel decoder system - that i discovered away back in 1965) OR - I play "things" from TOP TO BOTTOM, with a subwoofer at CENTER-HEIGHT. Why ? Because then I not only get the old-school (original) MONO SOUND of summated R+L channels, at the TOP Of the speaker tower stack - but I get a completely unheard HIDDEN track - that plays near the floor - whilst the summated SUB-WOOFER is summated between the normal MONO and the OTHER 90 degrees out-of-phase MONO - being the one I get out of the hidden content within any stereo recording (from the rear of studio / rear stage effects) - which when combined in full noise - actively give me a LOT MORE audio content - than you will ever get - playing forwards OR backwards any of your music - whether in direct analogue players - or from any digitized "virtual" sound delayed frontal system of "front surround only". And then sometimes - I go & 4k all of that up - by overlaying the completely opposite direction of play of that top/bottom content - into the opposing bottom & top channels (but over-layed in reverse).. Making a cacophony of harmonic sounds - being like nothing ever created.. Now where can you hear that effect? Oh yes - a car upside down on the side of a track (road actually) .. The title of it.. Oh for sure - sounds as bad as the content that YOU will soon subject your ears to listen too Ur addicted to MY music & U chant- QUIX4U (Wildest FM Radio on the doht com) .wmv kzread.info/dash/bejne/fahmj5eThdjgkrA.html Backwards - sideways PLUS upside down AND reversed - all tumbled in together. Yet your brain can follow along ? And eventually start to recognize little snippets of something Plus bits and pieces - played here and there.. DIFFERENT ? HELL YEAH Any silly village idiot - can push "play" on a commercially made audio player. NONE can play it my way.
