Description

Speak & Spell is Depeche Mode’s debut album — a bright, melodic synth-pop classic that introduced the band’s infectious hooks and electronic textures to the world. This remastered gatefold edition is pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl, featuring a replica inner sleeve insert and housed in a deluxe gatefold jacket.

Artist Overview

Released in 1981, Speak & Spell marked the beginning of Depeche Mode’s evolution from pop newcomers to electronic pioneers. With Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andy Fletcher, and Vince Clarke, the album captures the early charm of synth-pop before the band’s darker, more experimental turn in later years. Its influence is felt across genres, inspiring artists from Erasure and Pet Shop Boys to CHVRCHES and Hot Chip.
