LEGO New Order - Blue Monday
Instructions available for free on rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-83543/tmunz/new-order-blue-monda...
"Blue Monday" is a song performed by English rock band New Order. It was released as a 12-inch single on 7 March 1983 through Factory Records.
It is the best-selling 12" single of all time and has huge influence on pop culture to this day (e.g. it is used in Wonder Woman 1984)
The 1983 edition artwork is designed to resemble a 51⁄4 inch floppy disk. This Lego representation is a slightly larger representation of the front (~13" / ~33cm)
The sleeve does not display either the group name nor song title in plain English anywhere. Instead the legend "FAC 73 BLUE MONDAY AND" on the front (and "THE BEACH NEW ORDER" on the back) is represented in code by a series of coloured blocks. The key enabling this to be deciphered was printed on the back sleeve of the album, Power, Corruption & Lies.
The single's original sleeve, created by Factory designer Peter Saville and Brett Wickens, was die-cut with a silver inner sleeve. It cost so much to produce that Factory Records actually lost money on each copy sold.
