FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The first German edition came out in 1986, already with a grey vinyl variant. This record is a 1990 repress with the same catalogue number; it can be told apart by, among other things, the later Mute logo on the label.

What does Media VG+ / Cover VG+ mean?
Record and sleeve: VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light signs of use that barely affect the overall impression. The sleeve shows visible wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Who sings Sometimes and It Doesn't Matter Two?
Both are sung by Martin L. Gore, who takes several lead vocals on Black Celebration, A Question Of Lust included.

Do you have more Depeche Mode records?
Yes, for example the Black Celebration German original 1986 on grey vinyl and the singles Stripped (Highland Mix) 12" and A Question Of Time (New Town Mix) 12". More in our Synth-pop collection.
