Just an observation - this is one of the very few German dM 12"s where I have seen an original UK label artwork instead of the sterile German non-artwork labels that sort of always destroys the mood (not the mode! ;)

Question:
Would it not be necessary to distinguish between "red" and "clear / red"?
I cannot tell from the pictures here, but mine is clear, transparent and red. Plus it has some black dots, which I guess must be black vinyl leftovers from the mashines.
I am not sure how to proceed and certainly do not want to mess around with the data bank here.
Please advise, thank you.

My 2nd 12" single....my first was Stand & Deliver/Adam & the Ants. My first Depeche record. I played the hell out of this one-both sides.....made me feel like I was in a German cottage/countryside (Great Outdoors) and the live version of Tora Tora Tora from the Hammersmith let you know that there was a lot more to this band and then on the A side you have a engaging mix by the master Daniel Miller.....not bad for $6-

My copy has MT 2 in the Matrix / Runout on side B!
Anyone else who has that?

Just classic DM, especially the Combination Mix. First to the left, back to the right...

Well mixed early live tracks!! Whoever was manning the board knew what they were doing. Extremely clean!

Hi All!
Would like to have a bit of guidance here. I have this particular UK release, but without any printed/pressed number, just white box. Should it be a different release or do I just the cover to this release (128814)?

Lots of people dont know that this record was a major influence in development of Detroit Techno.
