Below, you can enjoy a cool clip from 1984, with electro-guitar pop legends NEW ORDER doing a live session in the BBC Radio studio, playing their 1981 debut single, the sublime Ceremony.

Glorious footage, but also hilarious seeing frontman

Click and watch.

Won’t you please let me go
These words lie inside they hurt me so
