The Best of New Order released

Following the release and promotion of Republic , the band put New Order on hold while focusing on side projects, with the Other Two ‘s debut album released in 1993. In 1994, a second singles collection was released, entitled The Best of New Order . It featured all of the band’s singles since Substance as well as a few extra tracks: “Vanishing Point” (from 1989’s Technique ), “The Perfect Kiss”, “Thieves Like Us”, “Shellshock”, and remixes of “True Faith”, “Bizarre Love Triangle”, “1963”, and “Round & Round”. The new versions of “True Faith” and “1963” (the latter as a more guitar-orientated version produced by Arthur Baker ) were released as singles to promote the album. In the US, the track listing was altered to set it apart from Substance as well as the UK release of The Best of New Order, which had been available months prior. This collection was followed by a remix album, The Rest of New Order , featuring a selection of existing and newly commissioned mixes of classic New Order tracks. Some versions contained an extra disc or cassette composed entirely of remixes of “Blue Monday”. “Blue Monday” was released as a single for a third time to promote the collection.
