A catchy bluesy riff & drum-based sound & a stark foreboding seductive blast of blasphemy or piety - depending on your interpretation - inspired by the book Elvis and Me by Priscilla Presley. In the key of F♯ minor w/ a 130 beats p/min tempo in 128 time w/ the vocal harmonies an octave apart & the first time a guitar was used as a dominant instrument in a Depeche Mode song.
Reach out and touch faith.

My disc (which matches Variant #2) has horrendous disc rot. If you hold it up to a light, it looks like it's been used for target practice!

Why do we sell things we think we don’t need ? Why do we sell things that sell for silly money at a later date ??

I had this up until 10-12 years ago. Then I had one of my occasional clear-outs and this beauty and me parted company. It wasn’t that cheap at the time. My gut feeling is I paid £20 for it and I bought mine in 1990. It was signed though so £20 seemed more than fair. I Had a friend who was a pilot, and he was a frequent flyer to the Far East and Australia. He knew my tastes and would often appear with a bag full of goodies. He got me some really nice Japanese CD singles. The I Want You Now snap pak, and an ETS promo CD. All long gone :(

Boo.

Does anyone know anything about a 4:21 edit of the Lp version of Personal Jesus? It has the same end as the Lp mix, so it's not just a fade edit.

For the freestyle collectors, the Dangerous 7" version is a FREESTYLE mix. Enjoy!
