Substance ’87 (2023 Reissue)

Cat No: 5054197717888

Originally released via the legendary Factory Records, 'Substance' compiled all of the band's singles to that point in their 12” versions with many of their respective B-sides (on the CD and cassette versions), and specially, newly recorded versions of ‘Temptation’ and ‘Confusion’.

The album also included the biggest selling 12” single of all time, 'Blue Monday', alongside other classic singles 'The Perfect Kiss', 'Bizarre Love Triangle' and the band’s debut single release 'Ceremony'.

The remastered, expanded 4CD collection includes the original 2CD set remastered with two additional CDs. CD3 expands the collection with alternate versions and extra b-sides. CD4 features an unreleased concert, Live from Irvine Meadows, California, 12th September 1987, where the band uniquely played the entire album in sequence.
