Their first recording was the song "Photographic", which was released on a compilation album in 1980: Their first released track, 'Photographic', appeared on the 1980 compilation "Some Bizarre Album", which also contained the first outings of many other notable bands including Blancmange, Soft Cell and The The. However, Depeche Mode's own first album, Speak and Spell, was published by Mute Records in 1981, featuring the hit-single 'Just Can't Get Enough'. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A392771 : http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A392771">www.bbc.co.uk This site lists all the tracks on that compilation album: http://www.discogs.com/release/28107">http://www.discogs.com/release/28107 Feb 07 06, 5:41 PM

According to the liner notes of Speak & Spell, the initial U.S. release wasin November, 1981. DM made their ALBUM debut with S&S. Their first commercial hit single was "Dreaming of Me". Their first U.K. chart success was "New Life" and their first U.S. "underground" hit was " Just Can't Get Enough". DM formed in 1980 in Basildon, Essex where Fletcher, M. Gore and Vince Clark attended school. After some time together they did away with their Guitar sound, recruited Gahan and became an all electronic band (this would explain the heavy guitar riffs since "Violator"). I do enjoy the existance of DM since my first hearing this album (vinyl LP) back in the early 80's. I sort of lost track after "Violator" but picked them back up in 2001 enjoying "Ultra" and "Exciter". DM will forever be on my top 10 list of enjoyable, brilliant musical artists. Feb 19 06, 7:56 PM
