Stunning and heartbreakingly beautiful! Thank you Mark & Chams!

Easily on of the 5 greatest songs of the 80's. This is first version I heard of this song. Stopped me dead in my tracks. Through this song I began exploring Joy Division and The Smiths. I have still only ever met one person that has heard this song. Someday I will have a band that covers this and I will be in total bliss.

@ChameleonsFan I agree with you on both counts. Goose pimples each listen. Sat with finger poised over record button of ghetto blaster, listening to John Peel. Legendary DJ, legendary band.

Chameleons are good, but anything done by Edward Ka-Spel is better; Tear Garden, Legendary Pink Dots, his solo stuff.
-
Yes! I also prefer the Peel version (though I love both). But the guitars sound FANTASTIC.

@GodofDoors Green Day, Sex Pistols and Generation X

@SuperSlouis Was it on that? it was also on Top Gear. There's a Chameleons fan in the music department at the beeb!

peel session versions are much better i think - same with joy division's love will tear us apart
-
@ChameleonsFan I was going to say the same but I see you've already said it! The peel sessions version is unsurpassed. Love this song forever :)

@martyboy777 Just out of curiosity, who would be the other three?
Without any doubt one of the greatest songs in the history of mankind.
I prefer the peel sessions version over the album version.
