NEW ORDER GRAMMY AWARD MEDAL, CERTIFICATE & LETTER. Presented to New Order for 'Guilt is a Useless Emotion’. Frame measures approx 65x48cm.We didn’t make it to a Grammy, but this is pretty close. I felt the production ruined the song, so I am looking forward to playing it live soon, I hope. When it was originally written it was great. But the trick of letting four producers and one programmer, wrecked it, from which, in my opinion, it never recovered. Stay positive Peter! ;)
