This track from New Order was produced by Stephen Hague, and was the first single since their debut Ceremony, to be issued in the UK as two separate 12" singles. The second 12" single features two remixes of True Faith by Shep Pettibone.
Both versions of the 12" (and also the edited 7") also include the song 1963.
True Faith peaked at No.4 in the UK and also reached #3 in the U.S. Hot Dance Club Songs chart. I still have the 7" vinyl gathering dust in a box, as I now have nothing to play it on. Hmm, need to get a record deck!
This song and Blue Monday (1983) are my favourite New Order tracks, and the latter became the best-selling 12-inch single of all time.
By the way, was this the first video to feature happy slapping? It gets my vote for being one of the strangest videos of the 80s, that's for sure!
