A folytatásban az olyan dolgok érdekelnek majd, hogy pl. az I Feel Loved-ból volt 12 és L12, de a harmadik csak PXL12, azaz csak promó volt, azt vajon beteszik-e, vagy a Freelove-ból volt sima 12, de volt egy dupla PL12, szintén csak promó, azzal mi lesz.
Most gyorsan ránéztem, a Dream On is tocsog a promo kiadványokban, a két különböző színű Goodnight Lovers-ről nem is beszélve, abból mi kerül majd a dobozba...
Összegezve, csak az angol kiadások (promó csak akkor, ha azonos számon nincs nem promó vagy ha eltér a tartalom):
DO: 12, P12 (tartalma nem azonos az előzővel), PL12, PXL12
Élőszóban, nyugiban interjúzni sajnos munka és család mellett nem igazán megy, meg per pillanat ő is elég elfoglalt, de azért egész korrektül válaszolgatott.
Számomra ismeretlen infó a Little 15-ről és a Strippedről (a HOME-ról):
Little 15:
"Dave Gahan told KROQ radio in 1987:
'Little 15' is actually about a guy. It's about a boy. See, a lot of people have taken that song already in the wrong way, they think it's about a small girl, but it's not. It's actually about a boy, and his mother is talking to him. She's saying, "Look, you're gonna grow up and everything, and this is what it's gonna be like. It's not a bed of roses, and you're gonna be going out into the big, bad world soon." It's about a boy and his mother, his older mother. To be honest, when Martin wrote the song and he brought it to us and I read the lyrics and stuff - it's actually one of my favourite songs on the album - but when he brought it to me I thought immediately it was about a little girl, one of his, you know, "things"... But we won't talk about those!
from: dmwikilive" (Bleib)
...és egy másik megközelítés:
- "I remember (...) that Little 15 was also about a schoolmate of theirs (Martin/Fletch) that dated a much older woman (as he was 15 and she was in her 40's)."
- "It was probably me who qouted that interview on this very forum. It's from an interview with Martin and Fletch in Swedish then-music magazine Slitz (years later it became a soft-porn magazine, but in 1987 it was a sometimes very serious music magazine). The interview was made in conjunction with the release of MFTM. It was executed by Swedish music journalist - and self confessed bondage fan - Kristina Adolfsson. The interview was mostly about sex and bondage clothing, and among other things Martin confesses he likes Japanese school girl uniforms (not the girls - only the uniforms). Adolfsson was clearly not a DM fan and she presses Martin about his lyrics, especially L15. He's very reluctant talking about them and it's not until she says the song sounds like "the defence plea by a pedophile" that Martin gives the explanation about their schoolmate dating the older woman.
I was not a DM fan in 1987 but I found that interview a very good read. For years I labeled DM "that pervy band into BDSM". :D" (Ruskrpick)
Stripped:
"DMwikilive has info on Stripped as well..
"Depeche Mode said in the 1986-02-22 issue of No.1 magazine:
Andy: "The idea of 'Stripped' is to get away from technology and civilisation for a day and get back to basics in the country. It's about two people stripping down to their bare emotions. In the video we're seen demolishing a car and taking a TV apart... it's a bit, er, symbolic."
Dave: "It's not about sex. It's to do with having nothing except yourself. The people in the song could strip off if they wanted to though. The song is also a bit chancy. It doesn't capture you immediately. Some people hear it and say "Is that it?" Others go "Brilliant!".""
Gareth, yeah, not a bad idea either. Though they’d also have to add the 3 promo versions of ETS04 since each one featured bunches of stand alone remixes, bringing it to another 10 LP total set. It could even just be called “Depeche Mode – The Remixes 04-11 | The 12″ Singles” since they were all spawned from those sets. But honestly, I could live without something like that since it’s just 98% of (imo) pretty terrible remixes mixed in with a couple good ones.
The real pipe dream one for me would be a set consisting of the exclusive US/North American 12″ singles…
1984 – Master and Servant (Black & Blue) 1985 – It’s Called a Heart 1986 – But Not Tonight 1987 – Behind the Wheel / Route 66 Megamix 1987 – Behind the Wheel (Extended Remix) Promo 1988 – Strangelove ’88
…but I know there is no hope in hell for something like that, unfortunately.
Well wouldn’t this make a lovely 10 LP boxset once the album ones are done – all the currently missing (and presumed will also be missing) UK 12″ singles inexplicably being ignored by that BRAT fool and/or whoever else is compiling these things:
1985 – Shake the Disease 1 1985 – Shake the Disease 2 1985 – It’s Called a Heart 1985 – It’s Called a Heart / Fly on the Windscreen 1989 – Everything Counts (Live) 1 1989 – Everything Counts (Live) 2 1989 – Everything Counts (Live) 10″ upscaled to 12″ format 1998 – Only When I Lose Myself 1 1998 – Only When I Lose Myself 2 2006 – Martyr
Call it “Depeche Mode – 1985 to 2006 | The Non-Album 12″ Singles” and let’s finish this series on a high note.
