Some Great Reward Vinyl
Dark, daring, and undeniably iconic, Depeche Mode’s Some Great Reward is the sound of a band stepping boldly into their prime. Released in 1984, this landmark album helped define the industrial synth-pop movement with its gritty textures, sharp lyrics, and mechanical grooves. It’s a record that doesn’t just play—it pulses with purpose.
From the provocative anthem “People Are People” to the haunting vulnerability of “Somebody,” this LP covers emotional ground with stylish precision. “Blasphemous Rumours” blends black humor with social commentary, while “Master and Servant” turns power dynamics into a synth-laced dancefloor sermon. It’s edgy, clever, and packed with character.
This pressing comes on classic black vinyl, offering all the analog warmth and bite you’d expect from Depeche Mode’s mid-80s heyday. The production—handled by Gareth Jones and the band—remains punchy and layered, a perfect match for the group’s evolving lyrical depth.
Some Great Reward isn’t just a great Depeche Mode album—it’s a vital chapter in the story of modern electronic music. Loaded with hooks, angst, and attitude, this one deserves a prime spot in any serious vinyl collection.
