FAQ about Depeche Mode

Why are there so many German Depeche Mode pressings on colored vinyl?
In Germany the records were released in the 80s through Intercord, which had many maxis and some albums additionally pressed on grey, red or marbled vinyl. These editions are very popular with collectors today.

Which Depeche Mode albums are the most important?
Regarded as milestones are “Some Great Reward” (1984), “Black Celebration” (1986), “Music For The Masses” (1987) and “Violator” (1990). The live album “101” (1989) documents the band at its 80s peak.

Original or reissue?
80s originals sound warm and are interesting as collector's items. The reissues from 2016 onwards on 180 gram vinyl are the more affordable choice for listening, especially for albums that originally appeared on vinyl only in small runs, such as “Ultra” or “Exciter”.
