    best Depeche Mode record ever, and a fantastic pressing. ive had early German and US pressings in the past, and this sounds much more open and 'natural' sounding than the US pressing i had. the German pressing was cut a bit louder, but thats not an issue in comparison with this Swedish pressing. this cut has very clear and delicate highs and good punchy mids and lows without being overwhelming. crank it up and enjoy!!! it sounds great!!

      great Debut

      Some fun and pop songs but also a couple of sad and dark songs which made them later world famous

        How can I see, that the LP is from sweden? My LP is with exactly same cover, inner-sleeve and the white label on the record. But nothing says anything abaut Sweden. Only that MUTE is from London.
