True Faith is a 1987 track by New Order, produced by Stephen Hague. It was the first New Order single since their debut Ceremony to be issued in the UK as two separate 12" singles. The second 12" single features two remixes of True Faith by Shep Pettibone. Both versions of the 12" (and also the edited 7") also include the song 1963.
The single peaked at #4 in the United Kingdom on its original release in 1987. The single also became the first New Order single to chart on the Hot 100 in the United States that same year and their first ever Top 40 hit, reaching # 32.
A True Faith remix 12" single and CD single were released in 1994, and another True Faith remix 12" single and CD single were released in 2001. The 1994 remix charted in the UK at #9.
But I'm no fool. There would never be any better versions than those released on vinyl back in 1987.

I do own one version of the 94 mix as it was made available on a CD compilation:-

And while searching the files on the PC, one of the 2001 versions has turned up courtesy of its inclusion on a Q Magazine Dance CD given away free:-

Anyone fancy a bizarre cover??
Happy Listening

That cover version beggars belief doesn't it?
Surely a stripped down version rather than this overblown load of tosh would have been a better move? HAPPY LISTENING???
Oh come on the cover version was for charity....
Wait a sec - just listening to it. Sweet jesus christ that is fucking abysmal. What a disaster.
Someone must hang for this!
Definitely one of my all-time favourite songs tho, and high up on my 'must-be-played-at-my-funeral' list.
New Order have become one of the most over re released bands I can think of. Almost every "remix" has been an exercise in the unnecessary IMHO.
I have to agree, the orignial 87 releases are all anyone has ever needed.
