Policy of Truth

The "Capitol Mix" uses the sample "I want to tell you my side of the case" from the Checkers speech by Richard Nixon.

Although the song was less successful than the first two single before, it is the only Depeche Mode single to chart higher on the Billboard Hot 100 (#15) than on the UK Singles Chart (#16), as well as peaking at number two on the American dance charts.

The Trancentral Mix is by The KLF, a popular Acid House band at that time and one of only 3 occasions they did remix work for other artists (the other being So Hard and its B-side "It Must Be Obvious" by the Pet Shop Boys and "What Is Dub?" by Moody Boys).
