    This MPO pressing sounds wonderful, much better than recent digital reissue.

      What a joy it is listening to this classic. Fabulous sound. Depeche Mode at their best are tough to beat. Dave Gahan and Martin Gore are Gods. God bless Fletch.

        Excellent pressing very clear with nice lows, highly recommended if you are lucky enough to find a affordable copy.
