Talk:Everything Counts

Untitled
QUOTE: “Everything Counts" is Depeche Mode's eighth UK single (released on July 11, 1983) and fourth US single (released on November 2, 1983).”

-	Not counting the 1991 CD-re-releases of the band’s single’s catalog, “Everything Counts” is the band’s third US released single. The first US-released single is “Just Can’t Get Enough” followed by the 12” of “Get the Balance Right”. (0-29704). Prior to “Everything Counts”, Sire issued promo-only version of “See You” (Sire catalog # 9 29957-0), which is perhaps where the confusion lies.

QUOTE: In January of 1983, shortly before the release of the "Get the Balance Right!" single, Martin Gore attended an Einstürzende Neubauten concert, giving him the idea to experiment with the sounds of industrial music in the context of pop.

-	This is very interesting information and a valuable contribution to Depeche Mode historicism. Do you have an attribution or source? Is it in the book “Stripped” by Jonathan Miller?

Thanks for the intersting entry for this important DM single. Jackbox1971 20:06, 25 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi there. Thanks for clearing up the confusion on the US single history (if you look back on the page's history, it's a number I had confusingly changed back and forth a couple of times, and you're right, I accidently counted the promo-only "See You."


 * More importantly, regarding the information on the Einstürzende Neubauten concert, it's a bit of info I got from a Q magazine article written by Dave Thompson that came out about a year ago (text available here) which states: "Even more important to their future, though, was a performance witnessed by Gore at the ICA just weeks before the single was released: Einsturzende Neubaten’s uncompromisingly titled Metal Concerto. To the uninitiated it was a “difficult” evening with a bank of amplifiers sending the sounds of a scrap metal yard richocheting around the walls. To Gore, though, “the power and the excitement of it was brilliant”. So brilliant that, even as he talked, he was wondering how to employ “the same ideas in the context of pop”."

US See You/The Meaning Of Love single
Not sure if it's all been attended to by now, but FWIW, the US version of this was NOT promo only - it was commercially available, so it definitely counts! (in whatever amounts...) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.138.236.178 (talk) 04:33, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

B-side
Work Hard "is the first Depeche Mode song (excluding instrumentals) that is credited to both Martin Gore and Alan Wilder (the only other case of this is 1986's "Black Day..." Not quite; Christmas Island on the A Question of Lust single is also credited to Gore & Wilder.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.59.196.82 (talk) 07:43, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
