Depeche Mode “A Question of Time”
Depeche Mode “A Question of Time,” the third single from Black Celebration which was released 35 years ago today, March 17th, 1986. This 12″ single on Mute Records has the Extended Remix of “A Question of Time,” a longer, slightly faster version of the dark industrial dance synthpop track that appears on the Black Celebration. The 7″ single version (also faster than the album’s) went to #17 in the UK and to #34 on the US Dance chart. Side B has three live tracks, recorded on April 10th, 1986 at the Birmingham N.E.C., two from Black Celebration: “Black Celebration” and one of my favorites “Stripped,” plus “Something to Do” from their ‘84 album Some Great Reward.
Daily (maybe) pulls from the vault: 33-1/3, 45, 78, old, older, classic, new, good, bad. Subjective. Autobiographical. Occasionally putting a record up for sale.
