And why...?
Me, the remix, because I never really liked 1963 before I heard that version, which is now one of my favorite..

95 is good. but i´ll go with the 87. is more "full" if you know what i mean. 95 seems a little "empty" for my taste. i mean, it´s clear that is a remix and not the original song. don´t like so many drum loops...
The remix for me because towards the end what seems like a thousand violins start up and after a couple of seconds you realise that its a police siren type noise which rises and falls several times. No doubt someone will tell me what makes this noise because I'm musically illiterate but I just know that I like it and it makes me shiver deliciously inside.
Bought the original the day it came out, sat back, listened, and thought: Where's Hooky?!
For that reason alone, I prefer the 95 version. Doesn't seem quite so 'fluffy'!
Don't think i've ever actually heard the remix. I have it OK, but it's one of those things I've never listened to.
"Substance version"? Nic, why don't you call it by it's true name:
Original 12" version (or something...)
I'll take the original version, please. Seems like Baker always fucks up what he remixes.

I forgot the 94 version as well... 
Although I like the 95 versions energy, I like cold sound of the original. Suits the lyrics well.
But next week I could change my mind.

I'll go with the original version too. I don't really like Arthur Baker as a producer, he tends to overproduce everything.

Then vote NEXT week!:D
I like every remix of 1963, including the 1994 version, but definitely the original one for me is better than the others.
As somebody said in an upper post, 1963 is better than True Faith. The b-side is the real reason to buy TF single, I think.
I don't really think this is much of a contest. The '87/Substance/12" version, however you want to refer to it, is King.
(Although not as good as True Faith!)
the original--one of my NO favourites.
i also prefer it to 'true faith', but the latter is still a cracking song and probably better suited for a wider radio/MTV audience (case in point: my non-NO-loving friends like 'true faith' but are usually never fond of '1963' when i play it for them), hence its ongoing popularity.
Best rendition for True faith was in Republic 93 Tour. Love hearing Montreaux live version till today.Great perfomance!
The original of course, the remix omits the best bit: "I just want you to be mine / I don't want this world to shine......I will always feel free"
I have to sway the original by far. The '94 remix is pretty close, but more song = better listening experiance. And the '95 version really dissapointed me. It lost that one synth riff (you guys have to know the one I mean..) that makes the whole song. Probably a least favorite remix actually, I even prefer the Armand Van Helden mix of Bizarre Love Triangle.

Uh?
Stop listening to the EDITED version and listen to the full remix.. it's all in there!!
I thought the world of 1963 when I heard it on Substance...therefore, it shall always be my favorite version...even if I am a moron!!!!
The original!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also found the remix a bit "empty" though the bass sounds great in it. But the original version is perfect.
