Description
This record has been owned by me from new and is in very good condition overall - just one or two little knocks to the cover and the odd surface scratch that shouldn't sound when being played. It was signed by all members of the band at the HMV store on Lister Gate in Nottingham - I can guarantee this as it was me that handed it to them for signing! It's always been played on pretty decent record players so should sound good still. I will carefully clean the record before dispatch on a KAB record cleaning machine if so desired.

Recorded at Westside, London, England and Hansa, Berlin, Germany.
BLACK CELEBRATION, Depeche Mode's fifth album not counting compilations, is one of their best. Martin Gore's lyrics are less strident and more personal--even the politicized "New Dress" is couched in humanistic detail instead of slogans--and his mostly minor-key melodies have a certain dark majesty.
The production and arrangements move further into the atmospheric, somewhat industrial realm first tentatively explored on the preceding SOME GREAT REWARD, with more impressive results. "Fly On the Windscreen," a song previewed in a much different arrangement on the singles compilation CATCHING UP WITH DEPECHE MODE, sounds more convincing in this form, and it's one of the band's best-ever efforts. As a whole, BLACK CELEBRATION is one of the better Goth-pop records of its time.
Editorial reviews 3 Stars - Good - ...show[s] how distant from their chart peers Depeche Mode were becoming.
