New Order – Fine Time (12" Vinyl, 33 ⅓ RPM, 1989, Qwest Records 0-21107, Specialty Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
“Fine Time” was the first single from New Order’s 1989 album Technique and brought acid-house influences prominently into the band’s electronic sound. This U.S. maxi-single contains six tracks, including the LP and 7-inch versions plus the Steve “Silk” Hurley mixes. “Fine Time” was also a significant U.S. dance release, reaching the upper reaches of Billboard’s 12-inch singles sales chart.

Collector Note
This 1989 U.S. Qwest Records 0-21107 / 9 21107-0 edition is a Specialty Records Corporation pressing. The supplied SR1 runouts correspond to this six-track U.S. configuration, with Peter Saville Associates and Trevor Key credited for the sleeve design.
