Found at a local vinyl shop, for $4. Score! Early compilation featuring 13 tracks from their first 5 years - released in 1985. It's amazing to hear how upbeat and poppy their very earliest work was, like 'I Just Can't Get Enough' and 'New Life.' You can really plot out the progression of their sound through this collection. This came out the year before the Black Celebration LP, which is one of my faves. This is a great comp and includes a few of their best. Recommended. Favorites here: 'Fly on the Windscreen,' 'Blasphemous Rumours,' and 'Shake the Disease.' 'Fly on the Windscreen' may be my favorite D.M. track of all time, especially in this earlier version. I'm torn between that and 'Behind the Wheel.' Anyway, they're both brilliant.
