Depeche mode, Erasure and Pet shop boys!!! Wow!!! What a winning combination!!!!!

I have been a fan since 1981, and Im still going strong..... and one thing is for sure, I would never ever give up my collection.... never...

Wow I'm surprised watching this video, we have the same taste in music. Depeche mode has been my favorite since I was a teenager, just as Pet Shop Boys and Erasure have been my favorite bands. I live in Colombia, South America and I never thought to see this band live, the year they came to my country for the first time I turned 40 years old in the days around the concert and in that year I gave myself the best birthday present I have ever had in life. See my favorite band live, in conclusion I cried like a child all the songs. Same my favorite Somebody. Very Happy finding this channel !

You really brought back the wide eyed excitement I felt as a teenager seeing all those singles on the 81-85 album. I also hit the second-hand shops soon after to gather up every past release I could find!

Thank your for presenting your 7" Singles Box. Really lovely and awesome conditions. Kind Regards from Germany

Great video and you do really good on camera. Huge collector myself of DM and other Mute related stuff. Love those old records and even though i'm in my 40's I still often sit and look at them remembering the excitement of adding them to my collection :) Cheers from Denmark and looking forward to watching more of your videos.

I remember having the “Question of Lust” single when it came out. I thought that sleeve was so beautiful and loved it so much. I was so upset when someone ruined it. I was hoping you’d have it in your collection, and it was lovely seeing it again. Thank you for sharing!

Every single DM 7” I bought brand new on import here in the states as a young teen.. from Dreaming of Me to Personal Jesus (gatefold) and World in My Eyes...have been destroyed in a flood from a plumbing problem in our home we just moved into 6 months prior. I am still devastated. Happened last summer. They were all perfect. I had them all for around 20 years.

I enjoyed listening to this, nice bloke .

Yes Nick, please start your Pet Shop Boys collection! It's all so good!!!

very nice collection. i got into depeche mode in 82-83, and kept up with them up to music for the masses, which i didn't care for, and gave up on them after that. i did keep buying the singles though. now i've been going back, and i got all the recent 12 inch reissue boxsets. so that made me want to go back and fill in all the gaps for their UK, and US 7 and 12 inches, and all the limited and special editions. i've also been buying all the cds and cdsingles too. i buy items from a lot of other groups too. so its going to take me a long time to get this to where i want, but i'm concentrating on getting all the cheapest 7 inch singles first, and alternating with some rare items. i buy most from discogs, but sometimes from ebay. i don't ever play any of the records, and i rip the cds if there is something new. i have all their tracks on digital to listen to. i will enjoy watching, and catching up on all your videos. later -1

Still have my original 12"s, collecting since '86. I've never had any 7"s, but wish I did. The US 12" version of It's Called a Heart was my first single.

You leave me impressed with your collection. I am DM fan since 1988 when I bought "Music For The Masses" A lot of memories popped into my mind with your video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about your Depeche Mode collection. Greetings from Barcelona.

Great first video. I discovered DM way back in 1984/5. They basically changed who I was made me see the world totally different. And I agree “Somebody” is DM. And it’s my personal fav.

Now I am considering doing a video of my DM collection.

An enjoyable 17 min that brought back many good memories. Thank you

Great video Nic! I collected Depeche 12" singles back in the day (and kept hold of them). More recently it's been fun tracking down the 7" singles and enjoying those great sleeves which are usually variations of the larger artwork and the occasional mix that wasn't on the 12".

Fantastic condition - check that matrix on Behind the Wheel - see if it is the promo DJ BONG 15

I bought the singles box set when it came out around 2004 maybe? It was like the best birthday present ever, I’ll go through those in a minute 👍🏼👍🏼DM💙

While I collected 12" singles back in the day, I didn't buy 7"es very much. I think the first DM one I bought was "It's Called a Heart" because it came with a poster. And the same 7 BONG 7E that you have. Also the same Personal Jesus 7" because it was gatefold. But since I switched to CDs in the late 90s (and never looked back on vinyl), a friend has slowly been giving me 7"es for birthyday/Christmas, and I have to admit that it's cool looking at the covers. About six months ago, I picked up a bunch of old DM German/Intercord CD singles from a fellow Canadian. I was quite happy to fill in the gaps, since I didn't even own a CD player until 1994. Have fun collecting. You're lucky to be in the UK, where it's so much easier to find. Oh well, I still have fun scouring thrift stores for cheap used CDs. Good luck with Pet Shop Boys. Their stuff is much harder to find than DM or Erasure, since they didn't get repressed as often (if at all).

I envy you your collection, even if some are missing! I used to have every single one of their albums in 12” and CD and all of their singles before 1997, and every one of them were stolen from me. I’m so happy that your discovery relit your spark, though! Idea: you should have DM softly playing in the background!!!

I was like you but I was collecting the CD single imports from Europe to America. I need to gather up all my remaining CDs

Great video and nice collection Nic 👍

I've always been a huge fan of the depechee mode since they started it would have been really nice if alan did not leave but now i understand.thanks for the info and i still enjoy listening to my favorite band and looking forward on their new tour.

Thanks, Nic! Being a fan since 1981 (but without ANY vinyls) you made my evening. Though, I’m proud over my Gary Numan collection =) Your enthusiasm spills over and really bring back so many good memories. Thanks again!

Great treasure!

Very nice collection. Me too I enjoy collecting DM vinyls. It is never easy to find old records like yours in such remarkable condition. I wish you good luck and lots of fun in rebuilding your 12" collection as well!

Very enjoyable mate!

Congrats for your Channel. Depeche Mode Forever!!. Good Luck!! ;)

First! Boom winner 😂 happy listening nic 👍🏻

Great collection you have there, very nice idea with those stickers having the chart numbers on. Sold my music collection a while back as well and sometimes regret it, maybe I'll restart one day as well... Love Depeche Mode, great band - some of my favourites are world in my eyes and walking in my shoes. Freelove is a great one too! Hard to find a bad one really... Great video :)

Oh man, I had all of those as well. I bought every 12 inch from Violator and Music for the Masses I could get as well. CD and vinyl. Tapes too. Even had a stupid LASERDISC bootleg of a concert in London.

The Dreaming Of Me 7" Is the main DM release I am longing for.

Hi, I'm also a DM fan since 1987 with music for the masses, then 101 and of course violator that is also me the best one. I also regret A. W. departure from the group he was really a big part of the band. Thanks also to speak an English that is easier to understand for a French guy like me..

I've been going pretty full on rebuilding my vinyl collection. Just discovered your channel and this video is so relatable. I've been a fan since Black Celebration was released. Amazing! How's your collection going these days? PSB are amazing - just saw them a month ago on the Dreamworld tour. Possibly the best gig I've ever been to!

Dunno if you know about the cryptic inscriptions on the DM vinyls. Would also love to see an album rate and a sleeve artwork rate video.

Ah yes.... Good to see another member of the church of Depeche Mode

Collect all these Singles too, in 12 inch with original Covers on Mute Records 👍

Great Stuff! Love Depeche Mode and love collecting records (a little too much!) Do you like the Cure?

put VC (Vinyl community) In the title and description and you'll get more people finding you.

Do you like New Order, Nic?

I’ve just found DM again after many years, if you want to fill your gaps get to some Polish outdoor markets, I’ve picked up some amazing 12’ and picture discs and most of the original albums including several coloured vinyl albums. Erasure yeah, other one 👎 Also try Allegro.pl ( it’s the polish gumtree/eBay)
