Notes
An uncredited band member tells Poster Seductores magazine in 1990: "We like cinema and we like to create special [atmospheres] with our music. In a way, 'Memphisto' is our homage to that esoteric cinema."
Martin Gore clarifies the origin of the song's title in an April 1993 interview for Bong magazine: "It was the name of a make-believe film I invented about Elvis as the devil."[1]
