Music for the Masses is the sixth studio album by English electronic music band Depeche Mode. It was released on 28 September 1987 by Mute Records. The album was supported by the Music for the Masses Tour. Daniel Miller, who had produced Depeche Mode's previous album, voluntarily stepped away from production duties for this album, citing the growing tension in the studio that they had experienced during the recording of Black Celebration.

Sony Music Entertainment's Depeche Mode 12" vinyl singles project continues with the release of Black Celebration The 12" Singles and Music For The Masses The 12" Singles on 31 May 2019. Each of these definitive box sets contains 12" vinyl singles contemporaneous to either Black Celebration (1986) or Music For The Masses (1987). Also contained in the box set was a replica UK promo poster for "Strangelove". The boxes were made by Sony globally.

Music For The Masses In . And Stereo. Never Let Me Down Again" 04:47. The Things You Said" 04:02. Behind The Wheel" 05:18.

Initially the title must have sounded like an incredibly pretentious boast, except that Depeche Mode then went on to do a monstrous world tour, score even more hits in America and elsewhere than ever before, and pick up a large number of name checks from emerging house and techno artists on top of all that.

Notes

The artwork is exactly the same like the UK release.
The backcover (inlaycard) has a sticker from Rock Records & Tapes Kuala Lumpur.
The CD is different to the UK release. It has the speaker design with catalogue number CD STUMM 47 but without "Made In England". The matrix code is different. The mastering SID code is IFPI L471. So it seems that the Cd was made in Singapore. Other releases from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and other countries from Asia have the same SID mastering code. Because of the sticker from "Rock Records & Tapes" it was related to Malaysia.
