And, yes, it’s perfectly legal, even if it’s surprisingly early. The single version appeared at online retailer 7digital.com over the weekend in a 320 kb/s DRM free MP3 version.

The single version reportedly runs a minute shorter than the album version, but it sounds ostensibly the same.

You can buy it here. It costs just shy of one UK pound, and you can pay with all major credit cards as well as PayPal.

Please also note that the sleeve for this digital download is different to the one currently on DaveGahan.com.

UPDATE:

It is also available on iTunes.
