Violator and Music For the Masses is a Must

If your looking for a GREAT Dm song try the Personal Jesus 12". There is a song called Dangerous, back in the day it was the shit. That song brings back memories!!!!

"Thats the price I have to pay.....Dangerous"

Go with VIOLATOR, MUSIC FOR THE MASSES or possibly BLACK CELEBRATION.

Shake the Disease isn't a b-side, it's a single with a proper video... its b-side was Flexible.

The first time I bought a Depeche Mode 12" single was when I visited the then-quarterly London Victoria record fair. I bought one second-hand Personal Jesus and one It's Called A Heart 12" for £4 each. I thought that these were the most ideologically 'dancey', and so assumed that they would be the best ones to buy.

As it turned out, I wasn't that keen with either main a-side, the weren't as good as the 4-minute originals, but the b-sides (Dangerous, and in particular, Fly On The Windscreen) were awesome.

Fly On The Windscreen is probably their second best b-side, after the incredible 4-minute instrumental Memphisto - the premier b-side on Enjoy The Silence (1990).

Fly on the Windscreen is ace, but it's not a true B-side. It appears on Black Celebration.

the fly on the windscreen version on black celebration is called "Final". Was it released as a bside before it was released on the album? and what the hell does the "final" mean? is there another version? that and the live version off 101 are the only 2 i know :/

got the remixes cd today. pretty solid stuff on first listen.

To say i'm not one for remixes at all, its good. it could because i haven't heard much of DP's original stuff so can't compare.

On Catching up with Depeche Mode, there is a version of Fly on the Windscreen, but there are also two versions of "It Doesn't Matter" -- one on Black celebration and one on Some Great Reward.

I really like the Personal jesus one, but my only grumble is Enjoy the Silence is way too much Linkin Park for my liking, i know that guy who remixed/reimagined it is from linkin park but a fresh sound not the same shit they've been pissing out would've been nice
