Please note that there is contention regarding the true date of this audio. This FM broadcast as well as the 17.5-track soundboard recording are labelled as 1984-11-02, but depmod.com claims this London audio as being from 1984-11-03. The audio from all three sources (pre-FM vinyl and its "A Quick One" CD bootleg, this FM broadcast recording, and the 17.5-track soundboard recording) all match, so the only question is the date. There are no cuesheet scans from the original BBC pre-FM promotional vinyl and no recording of any radio announcer mentioning the date of the concert. I have asked Brat (webmaster of depechemode.com) but he does not have a copy of the original pressing vinyl including cuesheet, nor does he have any leads on tracking down the correct info and management would be of no help either. PeterToo's tape of the 17.5 track soundboard is labelled 1984-11-02, and twoshed's FM broadcast tape is labelled 1984-11-02 (info retrieved from an old section on BBC's website, unfortunately not even available on archive.org - but BBC's site does not have a perfect track record for accuracy). The only question is where depmod.com obtained 1984-11-03 as the date. I've requested scans of the original cuesheet, but nobody has come forth with any so far. Thus, for the time being, I will label this audio as 1984-11-03 until proof can be furnished confirming the date. In my eyes, that will be the original cuesheet that was with the BBC original pressing vinyl.

Notes

Depeche Mode's third out of four nights at the Hammersmith Odeon during their 1984-1985 Some Great Reward Tour. Two soundboard recordings and an FM broadcast master tape recording are available, detailed below.

Please note that there is contention regarding the true date of this audio. This FM broadcast as well as the 17.5-track soundboard recording are labelled as 1984-11-02, but depmod.com claims this London audio as being from 1984-11-03. The audio from all three sources (pre-FM vinyl and its "A Quick One" CD bootleg, this FM broadcast recording, and the 17.5-track soundboard recording) all match, so the only question is the date. There are no cuesheet scans from the original BBC pre-FM promotional vinyl and no recording of any radio announcer mentioning the date of the concert. I have asked Brat (webmaster of depechemode.com) but he does not have a copy of the original pressing vinyl including cuesheet, nor does he have any leads on tracking down the correct info and management would be of no help either. PeterToo's tape of the 17.5 track soundboard is labelled 1984-11-02, and twoshed's FM broadcast tape is labelled 1984-11-02 (info retrieved from an old section on BBC's website, unfortunately not even available on archive.org - but BBC's site does not have a perfect track record for accuracy). The only question is where depmod.com obtained 1984-11-03 as the date. I've requested scans of the original cuesheet, but nobody has come forth with any so far. Thus, for the time being, I will label this audio as 1984-11-03 until proof can be furnished confirming the date. In my eyes, that will be the original cuesheet that was with the BBC original pressing vinyl.

Sources

There are two soundboard recordings available from this concert: One is sourced from a promotional BBC pre-FM vinyl of 12 tracks, the other is a 18 track tape with a very raw mix.

  • Source 1 is sourced from a promotional BBC pre-FM vinyl containing 12 tracks. Sound is flawless.
  • Source 2 is sourced from an 18-track tape with a very raw sounding mix. It is either a soundboard tape, or a raw pre-FM. See You is only about 20 seconds long, and Shout and Just Can't Get Enough are entirely missing.
  • Source 3 is an FM broadcast master tape and contains Blasphemous Rumours not found on the pre-FM vinyl.
