Why is there not a promo version listed here, there should be?
-
referencing Confusion (12", 45 RPM, Single) FAC 93
Pressing with excellent sound. To keep here because contains the 2 mixes not included on the remastered CD's : A2 Confused Beat and B2 Rough Mix. -
Definitely a sort of marbled purple held up to the light -
Sounds great. Perfect quality record. Not such a great track though. Four mixes is stretching it. A bit disappointed following Blue Monday. -
Edited one year agoAnyone know where ‘Confusion Dub ‘87’ from the 2023 version of Substance originates?
-
Confusion is THE timeless new wave/synth rhythm! Pure sex... try it out! DOOM-DOOM-DO-DO-DOOM... -
Nice to see a modern remaster that isn't brickwalled to buggery.
This sounds great, with good dynamics. -
Edited 3 years agoreferencing Confusion (7", 45 RPM, Promo) Fac 93
If you are looking for this release, This 7" promo is on the following compilation, CD2 Track 6 : https://discogs.cinepelis.org/release/21299545-Various-Now-Yearbook-83-Extra and it is a 2015 Remastered track, not a needle drop. -

The sound and packaging is superb. If you don’t have an original— get this!!
