Released in 1982, A Broken Frame marks a pivotal moment in Depeche Mode's evolution — their first album as a trio following the departure of founding member Vince Clarke, with Martin Gore stepping up to write the album entirely on his own. The result is a deeply emotional and atmospheric collection of early synth-pop that showcases the band finding their footing and beginning to develop the darker, more introspective sound that would define their later work.
This numbered limited edition brings together the three 12" singles from A Broken Frame — "See You," "The Meaning of Love," and "Leave in Silence" — each faithfully reproduced from the original artwork and audio masters and cut at the legendary Abbey Road Studios. Fans of early Depeche Mode will appreciate the attention to detail and authenticity this collection brings to a frequently underrated chapter in the band's storied catalog.
