Most audiophiles have NO idea, what a major pop music influence New Order's Substance 1987 was. You almost had to have been in high school, to understand what a phenomenon this double-CD was.At my high school, we had major monthly dances. They were so large, we had TWO DJs. The rap DJ would take the gym, while the modern hold serve in the courtyard.
In the Fall '87 semester, I was a junior, which meant I could ditch or look past the girls in my own grade, and go after the underclassmen. The freshman class had lots of modern rock girls. I know that the SAs always get upset and jealous, but there was nothing like dancing with half a dozen of these girls, to synthpop acts like Erasure, OMD, and New Order.
Because no one wanted to fast forward/rewind cassettes, or put up with warped and warbly vinyl records, everyone wanted Substance 1987 on CD. You are absolutely right; Substance 1987 ends with the killer "1963." Back then, we didn't know that the song was a joking account of the JFK assassination. Be that as it may, "1963" got us running around furiously in circles.
As audiophiles, we need a system which also makes us want to run around in circles, and swing back and forth, to "1963." Thank you very much, for bringing up this excellent excellent cut. This is another example of why my readers cite Rocky Road as AA's best forum.

Nice coverage- Lummy.
I always found Substance 1987 and Depeche Mode 101 to be a yin/yang, relationship.
You are welcome! It's a hallmark album, for sure.
While the SAs may have missed Kon Kan's "I Beg Your Pardon," in the late-80s, it was a dance smash, here in San Francisco. Any Asian girl who was in middle or high school in the late-80s will have danced to "I Beg Your Pardon."Behind the scenes at Japantown Bowl, the junior bowlers listened to "I Beg Your Pardon." And when we drove to weekend travel leagues and tournaments, someone always played "I Beg Your Pardon" in the car or van.
With the Freestyle popularity here, you'll still hear "I Beg Your Pardon" on Bay Area radio stations, parties, clubs, and festivals.
But when I got to college, Kon Kan's "Puss N' Boots" was more popular.
