Notes

Duration given on the label for track A3 ("Personal Jesus") is incorrect; this track is 4:17 in length, not 4:56 as stated on the label. The version of this track on this release is the same edit of "Personal Jesus" used on the original UK LP (Violator).

    Release of this swedish pressing was 02/05/90??? UK and european 1st release was 03/19/90…. so I guess you tell us „fake news“. The single release of „Enjoy The Silence“ was on 05/02/90…

      This is their best album

      a masterpiece and every song is a masterpiece from track 1 to the end. Thanks to FLOOD and F KEVORKIAN they developed from the 80s sound to the 90s. Similar to U2 with ACHTUNG BABY. Both albums were produced by FLOOD
      Personal Jesus the first single from that album was a shock and a new sound unexpected.

      While most so called 80s bands failed to be successful in the 90s DEPECHE MODE made this perfectly
