Originally released via the legendary Factory Records, Substance served as a remarkable anthology of the band's singles up until that time, presented in their 12" versions, along with a generous inclusion of their respective B-sides featured on the CD. Notably, it introduced newly recorded renditions of 'Temptation' and 'Confusion'. This monumental compilation also included the chart-topping 12" single, Blue Monday, and housed other timeless singles such as The Perfect Kiss, Bizarre Love Triangle, and the band's inaugural single, Ceremony.

The Substance compilation stands not only as a significant milestone in the band's journey but is also considered once of the best and most acclaimed compilation albums of all time.
