    little help please. I have been searching for a bit. My copy has on side 1 - int 126.866, (then below it) - (l 12 bong 13) (then below that) 126.866 A . So it appears to be the german pressing but, it has mute logo 1 the walking man on side 1 and mute logo 2 "Saturn) on side 2. I found the misprint copy which is exactly like mine but with the logos reversed on side 1 and side 2. https://discogs.programascracks.com/Depeche-Mode-Strangelove/release/3415707
    Thanks

      I having this on 7" as a kid. Strangelove was quite a nice number but the flip side, Pimpf used to scare the shit out of me. Sounds like something out of The Omen, starts off with a sinister piano and builds into an absolute masterpiece complete with monks on vocal duties! Must dig this out again
