#tunestalktapes: "People Are People" by Depeche Mode (Bootleg Cassette Tape)

TUNESTALKTAPES DEPECHAE MODE PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE

Starting a new series on #tunestalksg, with #tunestalktapes = Essentially a series of Cassette Tapes archive of what I have/had - be it in still images or video clips (no commentary from myself, cheers).



I am starting with the above labelled "People Are People" by Depeche Mode, which essentially is a mixed compilation of tracks, which suits me just fine!

Tracklist is reproduced below, alongside the album from which it came from, while I wonder at how daring the tape itself is marked "Made In Singapore"! Or maybe this was a "legit" tape release...?

Nah - How would you be able to differentiate between legit releases and bootlegs? One of the ways in the INSIDE of the cassette sleeve. A legit release would have lyrics printed inside, while bootlegs would be left blank ... well, at least for most of the 80s?

2. Master & Servant ("Some Great Reward", 1984)
3. Work Hard ("Construction Time Again", 1983)

Imagine THIS would be a listeners' first sonic experience with DM...? My memories are fuzzy at best, but I'd figured out some tracks from the list having heard and following DM earlier on - specifically "Get The Balance Right", "Everything Counts" and "Master and Servant"... I think I got the tape specifically for "People Are People"...? Anyways, the full trackless is replicated below with videos from YouTube ... and I'll talk about Scritti Politti another time ... :p
