Depeche Mode - Speak & Spell

Depeche Mode's catalog is getting the 180-gram audiophile vinyl reissue treatment. The band, with Rhino in the U.S. and Canada, is reissuing titles complete with inserts, liner notes and glossy gatefold jackets.

The band's 1981 debut Speak & Spell features the classic early singles "New Life," "Dreaming Of Me" and the signature track "Just Can't Get Enough." Speak & Spell clearly demonstrates the influence that Gary Numan, Human League and Kraftwerk all had on the band. But Depeche Mode stepped beyond those influences into the groundbreaking territory of straight-up synth pop — 11 hooky and danceable numbers about life and love.
