BLT is New Order’s most euphoric song for me. I never get tired of it. Every time I listen to it it makes me want to dance and run like crazy.

[Stonecutter]

My name is Rich B and I shot the Pier footage from NYC you’ll see in box set. I hope you enjoy it. I did the best I could under the circumstances of the day. Light years from how things are done now. The people who put the box together did a fantastic job and I think fans of this era of NO will absolutely love the set.
I just so pleased a part of it all!

Hard to believe I've been listening to it for nearly 40 years now. It has aged so well.

[thesmithselvis]

"It still sounds new to me, even to this day" the essence of a brilliant tune.

[heartberryjam]

My favorite song of all time. The production and lyrics are insane.

[RTR]

I "rescued" four copies of the 12" from the bargain bin in Woolworths for a pound each the week after it came out! Such a shame this track didn't get the recognition it deserved at the time in the UK, but was a big college radio hit in the States. A timeless classic.

[jumofi]

This Classic is played everywhere in this World after these almost 40 years. New Order and Joy Division were ahead of their times... 🎉🎉🎉

[mooncalf]

I like the way the interview is cut so we hear Barney and Hooky basically agreeing, that is very refreshing to hear

[nikitanika]

I was born in 1982 and next year (2025) I'll see for the first time a live of New Order! I just bought the ticket!!! I still can't believe it ❤

[chriss]

How is this song 40 years old? Iconic. Timeless. Emblematic of the times.

[MichaelRoehr]

The newly released Stephen Hague remix is something special. Old but new... makes me love it all over again.

[romandavid]

I can't quite remember the exact moment I first heard this song, but I was about 7 or 8 years old, back in '89 or '90. I'm almost certain it was from a homemade cassette, a collection of songs recorded from the radio. Growing up in a small town in the interior of Yucatán made it hard to get music from that time, so the only option was to record the hits directly from the radio stations. Out of the 12 songs on that cassette, Bizarre Love Triangle was the one that excited me the most. I listened to it over and over, several times a day. It had that inexplicable magic that grabs you from the very first notes. Even now, just remembering it fills me with nostalgia. For a child, listening to a song that talks about nostalgia itself was a feeling hard to understand. But even then, I knew it was something special. I wish I could have that cassette back, like a piece of that time when music was everything to make life a little happier. Now that I think about it, another song on that cassette was Lily Was Here by Candy and Stewart. What a pleasant journey it has been to remember all this. Thank you.

I am a New Order fan of over 30 years and am so thankful for their music and artistic contributions to modern rock, pop, techno, ambient...you name it, New Order was instrumental somewhere, somehow. Thank you Ian, Bernard, Peter, Stephen, Gillian, Phil, Tom...The Light--for creating and keeping this amazing music going to this day. As a fan, I cannot express my gratitude in words as your music has been a defining element in my life. Thank you so much!

[romanseano]

Will always be their greatest work. Beautiful.

[minifignick]

A timeless classic. I must listen to this track at least one a week, and it still sounds as fresh as ever. Love seeing Hooky included too :)

[daraghmorrissey]

great to see hooky on the clip. They are all happier working apart and it's great that they are all touring but it would be amazing to see them collaborate again

[RockLobster]

Surely one of the best and most timeless 'pop' songs ever written?

[jh-kxkj]

I always loved Bizarre Dub Triangle which accentuated the edits.

[littlecatfeet]

I’ve stopped listening to a lot of music I loved from the 80s, but not New Order. They sound fresh to this day.

[Rbrtao]

My favorite song from my favorite band! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
