Notes
New Order's twelfth single, released September 1986, as third collaboration with John Robie.
While neither of the tracks are included on the UK vinyl LP of "Brotherhood", the UK CD of Brotherhood has State and the deluxe cassette of Brotherhood has both, State and Shame.
On a rare occasion, the band broke form by not only giving the song a title that referenced the lyrics but is also featured in the chorus.
Peaked at #30 of the UK singles charts.

referencing State Of The Nation (12", 45 RPM) YW-7436-AX
Bought this Japanese pressing out of mere curiosity as I already had the UK original. The Japanese release is a bit more compressed but in a nice way, it seems to serve the audio right with this particular song. The bass is more prominent here thus making the listening experience more engrossing and overall pleasing. Get this version if you can, you won’t regret it.
