they worked on a cover for "The Perfect Kiss" using one of Power's Grimsby dock's photographs, which can be seen later in New Order's songbook, 'X'. With time running out and Saville's decision not to run with this image – it didn't fit in with his subsequent portraits of the band on Low-Life and also being a colour photograph clashed with the monochrome of the album cover. A year later Power offered the use of a similar image for the New Order release, Shellshock. Versions Lasting nearly 9 minutes, the full 12" single version of the song is longer than even "Blue Monday", New Order's 1983 dance epic. This version also appears on the vinyl edition of Substance, with the CD pressings deleting 44 seconds of the climactic finale, due to time limitations of the CD format in 1987 (future reissues of Substance did not restore the missing 44 seconds, even though newer CDs would allow for it). The full version was eventually released unedited on the 2-disc deluxe edition of Low-Life, marking its first appearance on CD. The version on the original Low-Life and all post-Substance compilations is a 4:48 edit that omits the third verse (the one that mentions the song's title), replaces the original intro with that of the song's B-side, "Kiss of Death", and fades out before the climax. This version is present on the A-side of the 7" single from the Philippines; most 7" issues from other countries have on the A-side a version that is further edited to 4:24 (in some or all cases without the percussion introduction). The UK 7" promo release on Factory Records is a rarely heard edit cut by Ivan Ivan which compresses most of the elements of the full, 8:46 version (including the ending but not the third verse) into 3:50. There is also a pre-edited recording of the live performance filmed for the music video with later overdubbed mistakes left intact; it is available on the bonus disc included with some editions of Retro and on various promotional vinyl releases. The song has been remixed by third parties like Razormaid and Hot Tracks and has been covered by bands including Capsule Giants, Nude, International, Paradoxx, Razed in a New Division of Agony, and Amoeba Crunch. B-sides "The Kiss of Death" is a typical New Order dub version: it is a mostly instrumental remix of the A-side with added
