he 7" version is a more structured version with a commercial synthpop feel; the 12" is more chaotic with the emphasis on electronic rhythms rather than melody. The 7" version plays at 33.3rpm to accommodate its length of around five and a half minutes. Both versions bear the same catalogue number "FAC 63" despite these differences.

The 12" versions of both "Temptation" and its b-side, "Hurt", appear on New Order's mopping up EP 1981-1982, released a few months after the single itself.

Neither version mentioned the band's name or the song titles on release; instead the catalogue number FAC 63 was embossed into the front of the sleeve.

The vocal track on the original 12" version features an audible scream during the song's intro. Vocalist Bernard Sumner has since explained that the scream was from him due to fellow bandmates thrusting a snowball down his shirt during recording.
