"A Question of Time" is Depeche Mode's seventeenth UK single, released on 11 August 1986, following the similarly titled "A Question of Lust" single.
The 7" remix of "A Question of Time" runs at a slightly faster tempo and pitch than the original "Black Celebration" album version. A version of the remix with an even faster tempo appeared on The Singles 86-98.
There is no new track for a B-Side (the first Depeche Mode single, other than the Double A-Side "Blasphemous Rumours / Somebody" without one), but instead includes a remix of "Black Celebration" and various live tracks.
The "New Town Remix" directly segues into the "Live Remix" on the limited 12" single.
The music video for "A Question of Time" is the first DM video to be directed by Anton Corbijn, and was the start of a relationship with him and the band which still lasts to this day. It was included on the Strange video and The Videos 86-98.
