    My favorite Depeche Mode album. I own the CD and ‘86 US vinyl release. I have to say this sounds better than both. Someone criticized it as being too harsh in the high end but I totally disagree. The bass and low ends are booming for me . I love these DM reissues because the covers are so well done and I like the commentary inside the gatefold. I’m listening to A Question of Lust as I type this and it still moves me the same way it did in 1986. Brings back so many memories of love and relationships in my youth. ❤️

      Sounds beautiful, gorgeous gatefold. Very pleased to finally add this to my collection.

        Great remaster, excellent pressing without any noise. Heavy vinyl, top quality gatefold. Love it!

          What is the difference to https://www.discogs.sitioby.com/Depeche-Mode-Black-Celebration/release/13132856 ?

          The cover and the matrix seems to be the same. The only difference in the discogs description is the series. This entry has one, the other has no series.

            Sounds a bit harsh on top and a tad compressed. There's sibilance (good example is Question of Lust) that isn't there on the original. Matter of preference, but mine goes to the original '86 release.

              Superb remaster so much depth and sounds appearing that I had never heard before despite hearing this album 100 s of times over the years, Top quality pressing

                I had to return my first copy because of pops and snaps pressed into the LP made it unlistenable. I could see the lines in the grooves where these aberrations had been pressed in. The black LP had some white vinyl melted into it for some reason as well. I picked-up another copy of this pressing from a different lot and it was perfect: flat, centered, with incredible sound quality.

                  This pressing has great and clear sound. I totally recommend it.
                  This album remains one of my all-time favourites. Next to groundbreaking hits, it also has often overlooked gems such as "Sometimes" and "It Doesn't Matter Two".
