Description
This original 12" Vinyl LP features Depeche Mode's hit singles from the years 1981 to 1985, including tracks from their iconic albums. With high-fidelity sound and a sleek gatefold sleeve, this first pressing from 1985 is a must-have for fans of the band. The record, pressed on black vinyl, showcases Depeche Mode's signature synth-pop style and features the piano instrumentation that defined their sound during this era. Made in the United Kingdom, this LP is a timeless piece of music history that captures the essence of 80s electronic music.
I use the following standards to grade.
1. Mint (M)

- Cover: Perfect, with no creases, ring wear, seam splits, or writing.
- Sleeve: Perfect, as new.
2. Near Mint (NM or M-) / Excellent (EX)
- Vinyl: Played only a few times, if at all. No visible wear, marks, or surface noise.
- Cover: Clean, sharp corners, no obvious ring wear or marks.
- Sleeve: no obvious wear
3. Very Good Plus (VG+)
- Vinyl: Light signs of use. May have a few faint surface marks or slight background noise in quieter parts.
- Cover: Minor wear, slight wear or corner creases, but still very presentable.
- Sleeve: Slight wear or corner creases
4. Very Good (VG)
- Vinyl: Obvious signs of play. Surface noise noticeable in quiet sections, some light scratches or scuffs. Still plays well without skipping. A good listening copy.

- Sleeve: Creases, discoloration, but no rips.
5. Good (G) / Good Plus (G+)
- Vinyl: Significant wear. Background noise, scratches, and visible groove wear are common. May skip once or twice.
