This cover for New Order&#8217;s &#8220;The Perfect Kiss&#8221; is also handsome, if not as irresistible. Typical of New Order the cover is minimalist but also refined. This is only a 12 inch single and the cover is a metallic silver with the title embossed along the edge. The dust cover is swanky too with one side colored a deep blue and the other listing the tracks in, again, a very minimalist graphic design.<\/p>\n<p>I like the song. I&#8217;m pretty sure &#8220;The Perfect Kiss&#8221; and Bon Jovi&#8217;s &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/You_Give_Love_a_Bad_Name_(song)\">You Give Love a Bad Name<\/a>&#8221; were separated at birth. They&#8217;re not identical twins stylistically, but I&#8217;m here to tell you the melodies are <em>very<\/em> similar. Now, I&#8217;m guessing that few people are fans of both bands, which may be why no one seems to have noticed. But I was working in a chain record store when the Bon Jovi track was a hit. We had a number of teenagers at the store, I was only 19 or 20, and I got to listen this one more times than I care to remember.<\/p>\n<p>Fac 123<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist: New Order Title: The Perfect Kiss Year: 1985 Format: Vinyl 12 in.
