Depeche Mode SPEAK & SPELL
THIS IS DEPECHE MODE, AND THEIR FIRST AND DEBUT ALBUM, RELEASED IN OCTOBER 1981. THEY WERE FORMED IN BASILDON ESSEX, AND THIS IS THE ONLY ALBUM, TO FEATURE MAIN SONG WRITER, VINCE CLARKE, BEFORE HE LEFT THE BAND LATER IN 1981, TO FORM, YAZOO, AND THEN LATER WENT ON TO FORM ERASURE, SO A VERY SAD LOSS. THIS COMES FROM MY PERSONAL TREASURED VINYL COLLECTION, AND PLAYS VERY WELL !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!!!


THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1981 UK 1ST PRESS :: STUMM 5A/2/1  JA  TAPE ONE  GG ::  STUMM 5B2/1  JA  TAPE ONE  GG .

ON THE MUTE RECORDS LABEL :: STUMM 5 .
COVER ::  ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, JUST A TINY FEW SPOTS OF VERY FAINT RUB ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS. THERE ARE SOME SMALL SURFACE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND A COUPLE OF LONGER ONES IN TOP RIGHT CORNER. THE BACK IS BEST DESCRIBED AS MORE A LESS THE SAME AS THE FRONT, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+ .  

VINYL   ::  YOU WILL BE PLEASED TO KNOW THAT THE VINYL PLAYS WITH NO SKIPS, STICKS, OR JUMPS, AND ALSO, NO POPS, CLICKS, STATIC OR CRACKLE, SO NOTHING NASTY !!!!

ALL I HEARD WAS.....

ON SIDE 1 :: ONE FAINT TICK AFTER THE START, AND TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 2. THERE ARE FOUR VERY FAINT TICKS AT THE VERY END OF TRACK 4.

ON SIDE 2 :: JUST ONE FAINT TICK TOWARDS THE END OF TRACK 1 .

VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE, AND WHEN HELD UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, THERE ARE JUST SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND SOME COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A FEW COSMETIC MARKS, WHICH HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE AUDIO, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE  :: EX/EX+ .  WOULD SAY NEARER TO EX, RATHER THAN EX+ !!!!

LABELS ::  NO NASTY ISSUES :: EX/EX+ .

INNER ::  WITH NO SEAM SPLITS, OR WRITING, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER, ALONG WITH THE ONE DESCRIBED ABOVE  :: VG+/EX- . 

WHAT A GREAT ALBUM, AND THEIR FIRST, AND THE ONLY ONE WITH VINCE CLARKE, WHO WAS A SAD LOSS WHEN HE LEFT IN THE SAME YEAR, BUT THAT'S ROCK HISTORY FOR YOU !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE.
