[Fernando] "If it [US Fact 50] has a purple translucent vinyl, then it is very rare (hold it up to a light, and the color, if any, is noticeable). Red colored are very scarce. This colors are the result of formulations used by rough trade in the original pressings, with the purple being the very first pressings. Early pressings also had the grinding wheel Fact logo stamped on the inner sleeve -- there should be no bar code on the back either!
US CD mispressed cover... this mixed up happened on the first run of the *second* pressing of Movement. The first pressing was on Rough Trade, just like the LP. In between the time of RT loosing the NewOrder contract and WB picking up the remainder (just Movement and the JD catalog at that point), there were these intermediate pressings. If you are able to compare, the CD graphics are just like the Factory pressings, but written in white instead of black. The CD from RT has really big letters. Soon after the first batch, the cover was corrected. The dots and lines were just done mirrored. So, this is a kind of mispress, but not as rare as the Rough Trade CD (my guess)."

Q: One question about "Movement"...On my CD, and the new blue cover US release, the beginning couple seconds are cut off. The cassette version is fine though...is the UK CD complete?
A: The RT version is complete... there is one or two notes chopped off on the UK version.

Q: On my LP from Portugal (VFACT 111-1), there is an extra song on the a-side. What is that?
A: That is not an extra song, it is part of the song Denial that ended up on the a-side by mistake.

Q: Am I going crazy or do some re-issued CDs sound different?
A: It seems as if the re-mastered CD from Europe (early 2000) has the channels reversed compared to the original Factory issue.

Q: Why are there two car carry cases for the UK CD?
A: The blue case wasn't ready on time, so the white cloth one was sent out with the first batch. Subsequent CDs were sent with the blue case.

Q: I have seen a 2-CD box-set with "Movement" and "Low-Life", why isn't this listed in the Discography?
A: That box-set appears to be a bootleg. However, a 2-CD box-set that is legit is the Australian release with "Low-Life" and "Get Ready".

Q: I have seen a the sleeve design somewhere else...
A: Yes, the sleeve is... inspired by Fortunato Depero's cover of the Futurismo journal of 1932.

Q: I have a bunch of US CDs and they all have different sleeves, why are they different?
A: The Qwest release has the blue cover and the Factory/Rough Trade releases have the cream cover. The first issue of the Facory/Rough Trade has "FACT.50" instead of "FACD.50", it was then reissued with "FACD.50" but the dots are reversed. The last reissue of the Factory/Rough Trade CD has the "correct" creme cover.

Q: I heard that the 2008 re-master had some sound quality issues that was later fixed. How do I know if I have the corrected CDs or not?
A: One way to check if you have a fixed CD is to look at the matrix on the inner spine of the CD. If the number ends with "V02" then you have a fixed CD. For "Movement" at least the second disc has been fixed.
