Notes
Dave Bascombe told Vaughn George in April 2020:
"There was a reverb called a Caul or something, that had a remote control, and I had never seen that before. And if you listen to that mix, it has different reverbs on every part, it's just me sitting with a remote control, doing that [pressing the buttons]. So my summary is, you sweat hours on it, get it all crafted, and this is me going through all the presets. It was great."
In Glitter Mix of 'Pleasure, Little Treasure' you can hear a sample which has been reversed and slowed down. In this sample you can hear Andy saying "It could probably work" and what sounds like Martin saying "Back to Back".
When Depeche Mode was interviewed about the songs on the '101' CD for the April 1989 issue of French magazine 'Best', Andy Fletcher said (translated from French):
"It's the B-side of 'Never Let Me Down Again', a good old rock'n'roll [song], fun to play on stage."
Lyrics
Pleasure, Little Treasure
Pleasure, little treasure
Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason I've a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure
Everybody's looking for someone to follow
Finding the whole thing hard to swallow
Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason I've a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure
Everybody's looking for a new sensation
Everybody's talking about the state of the nation
Everybody's searching for a promised land
Everybody's failing to understand
Pleasure, little treasure
Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason
I've a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure
Maternity frocks and paternity suits
If that's what you want
They're waiting for you
Everybody needs some reason or other
You'll find a reason when you discover
Pleasure, little treasure
Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason
I've a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure
