New Order: Temptation - 7" and 12" (Continuous mix)

In 1982 New Order released FAC 63, a new song called Temptation, on 7" and 12". Despite the fact that both versions claimed to be the original, they were different recordings. The rumor was that since the 7" version ended with a fade out, and the 12" version began with a fade-in, that the two songs were in fact two halves of a 14-minute long original version. I've always wanted to test this theory out, so here's the two versions of the track faded together to form the longest version of "Temptation" out there.
You'll notice that the production sound changes around the 5 minute mark as the 7" version transitions into the 12". So are they two halves of the same recording or are they just two entirely different takes?

The non-fans or even the "like New Order" fans would say this is tooooo long, but for those of us who absolutely adore New Order, this masterpiece could never be "too long". Great work!!

You'll know you listen to too much New Order when Video 586 feels too short.

[@anapaulacarneiro4175]

@David Mollon, you mean the almost 20 min version live in Wellington, NZ ?

[@paulmca9731]

Not long enough !

[@markvalentine63]

Astonishing work! Could barely hear the stitches - even though we all know where they are!

[@chrisashley6284]

I could listen to this song back to back all night!

[@toadtoaderino5233]

This is one of those songs that make the world a beautiful place.

Excellent, thanks. Tried to do this in the 80’s onto a tape. Wasn’t so seamless!

[@CharlieBrown723]

LOL ---- I tried that too

Listen to this on a daily basis. Thanks again ❤

Top 10 pieces of music of all time. Emotion. Pure.

[@johnhyatt9408]

Hooky has stated they were 2 seperate sessions. I don't believe him.
It's one recording with 2 record pressings. Better quality on 12 inch.
Best attempt at mixing I've heard. Well done

[@paulmca9731]

Always worth a revisit . Love this. Should be on an eternal loop ❤

[@MrManuelGamero]

Well done, Daniel! Thank you very much!

[@bluehorizon5149]

Very Clear sounding, luv this version, thx so much !

[@AndrewWells]

Great job... I don't think anyone involved has ever been definitive on the truncation aspect, but its great to have the pieces joined

[@gregx5096]

I saw a comment on another Temptation mix that said "I would marry this synth line if I could" - I know just what they mean 😍😎👍

[@philipgolding3672]

After Movement was released in 81 I heard this in 82' as an EP compilations pure Heaven Temptation to love' still exists today at 59 !!!

[@AO1989USAF]

Well done and impressive.

[@futurefreak8789]

Love this and liking the length

[@sunsetman22]

Excellent

[@paulmca9731]

24/7 love it.

[@CharlieBrown723]

I love this cut.

[@22Hammy]

it could've very well been one recording since there was an 18 min "Elegia" version released in the 2008 Collector's Edition of "Low-Life"

[@vlakusclassicpvp3716]

Amazing

[@adamharvey1147]

loooove

Ad drop at 10 minute in, just killed it. Oh well. Pity.

Someone did it lol. Great

[@kevinmcardle4087]

Sounds like one take. Likely the 7" edit was punched up for radio release. I love it, either way

[@markvalentine63]

It was one cut. 7 inch fades into the 12 inch 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@LazarusWilhelm]

Yup, definitely two halves

does anyone know what they say in the longer version at the start before the vocals kick in? around 5:50 here in this version

[@philipdawson5372]

I believe it was one take.... good mix though.

[@Fireglo]

No such thing as one take in studio recordings. All instruments are recorded separately.
