Depeche Mode   SPEAK & SPELL
THIS IS THE FIRST AND DEBUT ALBUM FROM THE BOYS FROM BASILDON IN ESSEX ENGLAND FORMED IN 1980. THIS IS THEIR ONLY ALBUM TO FEATURE VINCENT CLARKE WHO WROTE MOST OF THE TRACKS, BUT HE THEN LEFT TO JOIN, "YAZOO", AND LATER WITH, "ERASURE" !!!! THIS IS ACTUALLY 42 YEARS OLD, AND HARD TO BELIEVE, AS IT ONLY SOUNDS LIKE YESTERDAY !!!! THIS PLAYS SUPERB AND COMES FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1981 UK 1ST PRESS :: STUMM 5  A3  EG  'JA TAPE ONE' :: STUMM 5  B3  GG  'JA TAPE ONE' .
ON THE MUTE LABEL  :: STUMM 5 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH CLEAR CELLO TAPE ALONG THE SPINE, AND LOOKS LIKE IN THE MIDDLE THERE IS A MEDIUM SIZED SEAM SPLIT BUT NOW REPAIRED, AND A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP, BUT THERE IS A SMALL RUB ON THE BACK OF THE OPENING EDGE TOWARDS THE TOP. THERE ARE SOME CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND I WOULD GRADE   :: VG/VG+ .  

VINYL ::  THE VINYL PLAYS REALLY WELL AND MORE THAN MAKES UP FOR THE COVER !!!!

JUST TWO FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START OF TRACK 1 ON SIDE 1, ON THE VERY QUIET INTRO, AND A FAINT TICK AT THE START OF TRACK 2. 

WHILE ON SIDE 2, JUST TWO FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START OF TRACK 2, AND THAT'S ALL !!!!

VISUALLY THERE ARE SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES AND A COUPLE OF LONG COSMETIC HAIRLINES WHICH ARE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND ARE HARMLESS, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  :: EX/EX+ .   AND THIS IS IN NO WAY OVER GRADED !!!!

LABELS :: LOVELY CONDITION :: EX+ .

ORIGINAL INNER ::  NO SPLITS OR WRITING, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER WITH THE ONE LISTED ABOVE  :: VG+ .

WELL THERE YOU HAVE IT, WHAT AN ALBUM, AND I STILL CAN BELIEVE IT IS 42 YEARS OLD AS IT SOUNDS SO FRESH AND NEW !!!! CERTAINLY ONE NOT TO MISS !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !! ROSE.

DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!! 

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
