Substance (also known as Substance 1987) is a compilation album by English alternative dance band New Order. It was released in August 1987 by Factory Records. The album compiles all of the band’s singles at that point in their 12-inch versions, along with their respective B-side tracks. The then-newly released non-album single “True Faith” is also featured, along with its B-side “1963” and new versions of “Temptation” and “Confusion”. Substance was released as a double LP (12 tracks), a double CD (24 tracks), a double cassette (24 or 28 tracks), a single cassette (12 tracks) in the U.S. and a digital audio tape (24 tracks). It sold over one million copies and became New Order’s most popular and critically acclaimed album. It is the companion to a similar singles compilation by New Order’s predecessor band Joy Division, also entitled Substance.
