FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. It is the limited, numbered German edition from 1984. A further marbled run followed in 1987 under the same catalogue number, and later several black vinyl represses.

What is the ON-USound Remix?
Adrian Sherwood, founder of the London dub label ON-U Sound, turned the pop song into a dub version of about seven and a half minutes with heavy reverb and echo. In 1984 he also remixed "Master And Servant" for Depeche Mode.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means the record is close to new with at most minimal signs of wear. VG+ (Very Good Plus) means the sleeve shows light signs of wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Do you have more Depeche Mode records?
Yes, for example Depeche Mode – Master And Servant (Slavery Whip Mix, grey marbled), Depeche Mode – Master And Servant (ON-USound) or Depeche Mode – Some Great Reward (grey vinyl). More titles are in our Synth-Pop collection.
