New Order's Substance 1987 compilation is being reissued on 10 November via Warner in CD, cassette, and vinyl formats, with select editions including an unreleased live album recorded at Irvine Meadows, California, in September 1987.

Substance 1987 is being reissued across multiple formats on 10 November via Warner, with vinyl, CD, and cassette editions remastered for contemporary playback. Some pressings include an unreleased live album from the band's September 1987 performance at Irvine Meadows, California — a complete set in which New Order worked through the full Substance album in order. The reissue also revives 12" vinyl releases of "True Faith," "True Faith Remix," and "Blue Monday 88."
Substance compiled the band's singles through 1987 alongside newly recorded versions of "Temptation" and "Confusion," capturing them at the peak of the synth-pop era. The live material is a rare glimpse of the group in full command of the material across a complete set, documenting that same period when the album was in their working repertoire.
