Released March 7, 1983. About Blue Monday 1 contributor. Inspired by a 5 inch floppy disk which he had seen the band use to record the song, the sleeve features a color code of Saville’s invention along the side which spells out the song’s name and catalog number (FAC73). The sleeve used for the original pressing contained die-cut holes which allowed the silver inner sleeve to show through
The key enabling this to be deciphered was printed on the back sleeve of the album Power, Corruption And Lies. In Q Magazine's 1001 Best Songs Ever issue, Peter Hook said, "I go through stages of intense dislike for 'Blue Monday,' which I'm sure every group does when they get one song they're synonymous with, but the way it keeps getting reinvented is wonderful. It seems to be one of those tracks that's timeless, which is amazing. Later, Kraftwerk's ex-member Karl Bartos released an album called Communication.

Love Will Tear Us Apart.
How does it feel To treat me like you do When you've laid your hands upon me And told me who you are. I thought I was mistaken I thought I heard your words Tell me how do I feel Tell me now how do I feel. Those who came before me Lived through their vocations From the past until completion They will turn away no more. And I still find it so hard To say what I need to say But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me Just how I should feel today
