Speak & Spell is the debut studio album by English electronic music band Depeche Mode. It was released on 5 October 1981 by Mute Records. It was the band's only album to feature Vince Clarke, and as a result, is much lighter in tone than their subsequent releases. The album peaked at number 10 on the UK Albums Chart, and was ranked number 991 in the 2000 book All-Time Top 1000 Albums.

Speak & Spell is Depeche Mode’s debut album. It got recorded in the year 1981 and released on October 5, 1981. The whole album got recorded at the Blackwing Studios in London. The album got re-released on CD in 1988. Also, on April 3, 2006, it got re-released as a double disc set that included a SACD/CD and a DVD with the 28-minute documentary about the making of the album entitled Depeche Mode: 1980–1981 (Do We Really Have To Give Up Our Day Jobs?) featuring interviews with Depeche Mode, including Vince Clarke, and other relevant personnel such as Daniel.

On October 5th 1981, Depeche Mode released their debut LP Speak and Spell-their only full length album featuring Vince Clark in the band, who would later go on to form Yazoo and Erasure. The album is significantly lighter in tone due Clarke’s writing- which changed when Martin Gore took over songwriting duties from A Broken Frame onward. The track Photographic has an alternate version appears on the Some Bizarre Album, due to that track being recorded first and ultimately with the help of Some Bizarre Records owner Stephen John Pearce, led to the signing with Mute Records, after a good word.
