New Order - True Faith This single was taken from the 1987 compilation album Substance and reached No.4 in the UK charts. Hmm, was this the first ever happy slapping video? New Order were formed in 1980, following the demise of Joy Division and the death of lead singer Ian Curtis. The post-punk/electro sound gave New Order much critical acclaim. The 1983 hit single "Blue Monday" became the best-selling 12" of all time. The second album "Power, Corruption & Lies" had a truly electro/synth-based sound and was one of my favourite eighties albums. My two favourite New Order tracks are "Blue Monday" (the original version) and "True Faith". If I remember rightly, I bought the 7" single (the cover has a gold leaf on a blue background) and still have it lying around somewhere!. Unfortunately, I don't have a record player anymore! Still, it's much easier to just listen to it on my MP3 player, although you just can't beat sticking the needle on a record - I loved the vinyl format.
