Written by Ian Curtis, Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris & Peter Hook.
Produced by Martin Hannett.
Released February 1981 on Ceremony.
Notes The first New Order track though actually written in the last days of Joy Division. The first version of ‘Ceremony’ was recorded as a 3-piece in September 1980 during New Order’s first US tour. They later re-recorded the track with new member, Gillian Gilbert, which was released in July 1981. The original 3-piece recording is only to be found on the 2005 New Order retrospective Singles. A live version by Joy Division is on the album Still and it’s very rough demo is found on the JD box-set Heart and Soul.

There is another version of this, I have it on 7". This is the one from the 12". I think they were both released about the same time. The other version does have more depth to it and, in my opinion, it is the better production of the two. This is different to "temptation" as the more they mess about with that, the worse it gets. The early thread-bare versions of that are the best, but now hard to get hold of

The part of Fleetwood Mac's live version of Rhiannon where Stevie sings "dreams unwind, love's a state of mind" has what sounds like the same beat as part of Ceremony. I just noticed this and it's kinda funny.

There has never been and there will never be a way to write a song that combines despair and hope in the way, this song does.... Perhaps the best song of the 80s.... At least in my book!

No, I have that version, as well as the version that was recorded in September of 1981 (once Gillian Gilbert was added to the band). The version I'm looking for is the one that was recorded in March of 1981, by the three remaining Joy Division members; their first physical output under the "New Order" moniker.

Can anyone link me to or send me an mp3 of the original version of this song? If so that would be much appreciated; I thoroughly enjoy both versions, but slightly prefer the original. Just shout at me or send a message if you can help out; thanks in advance.
