Some copies came with a 4-panel insert/order form advertising the "SUBSTANCE 1987: THE VIDEO" VHS/Beta videocassette release, with a cost of $29.95, and "available no sooner than October 30, 1987". The eleven videos that this insert indicates were to be included are "True Faith, "Bizarre Love Triangle", "State Of The Nation", "Shellshock", "Subculture", "Perfect Kiss", "Thieves Like Us", "Confusion", "Blue Monday", "Temptation", and "Everything's Gone Green". However the video collection was not released until 1989 and contained seven videos including two for singles that were released after Substance 1987 ("Touched By The Hand Of God" and "Blue Monday 1988").
