🎹 About the Album
Released in the U.S. in 1984, People Are People collects material from a pivotal period in Depeche Mode's early catalog. The album brings together the band's increasingly distinctive combination of synthesizers, programmed rhythms, melodic pop and darker electronic textures.
The title track leads a nine-song collection that also includes “Now, This Is Fun,” “Love, In Itself,” “Work Hard,” “Told You So,” “Get the Balance Right!,” “Leave in Silence,” “Pipeline” and “Everything Counts.”
⭐ Why Collectors Want This Pressing
There are multiple U.S. pressings of People Are People sharing the same basic catalog number. This copy is identifiable as an Allied Record Company pressing and matches the Variant 4 runout configuration.
The surviving original shrink wrap and Depeche Mode hype sticker are particularly appealing display features. Instead of a bare jacket, this copy retains part of the way the album originally appeared at retail in 1984.

The vinyl will be carefully packaged for shipment with the record protected separately from the jacket to help prevent seam splits during transit. Shipped in a sturdy record mailer with appropriate protective materials.
