Physical release

Reconstruction Time – A Tribute Compilation

Michael M. Müller

Although I already owned all regular releases, I started "seriously" collecting Depeche Mode's releases from all over the world in the late 80s. But when the internet and espacially eBay came up, I wanted to specialise my collection, because with eBay it was not a question of "how to find a rarity?" anymore, but just a question of "who pays the most?". That was the start of my collection of Depeche Mode cover versions.

I really like it when artists create a completely new mood in a cover version. For me, the best covers are very often just unknown tracks on an artist's album, while many tribute compilations are just "sound-a-likes" without own creativity.

Lyrics of "Work Hard"

You’ve got to work hard, you’ve got to work hard
If you want anything at all
You’ve got to work hard, you’ve got to work hard
If you want anything at all

Nothing comes easy
And that’s a fact
Nothing comes easy
But a broken back

You’ve got to work hard, you’ve got to work hard

You’ve got to work hard, you’ve got to work hard
If you want anything at all
You’ve got to work hard, you’ve got to work hard
If you want anything at all

Nothing comes easy
It never will
Nothing comes easy
But a broken will

You’ve got to work hard, you’ve got to work hard

You’ve got to work hard, you’ve got to work hard
If you want anything at all
You’ve got to work hard, you’ve got to work hard
If you want anything at all

You’ve got to work hard
You’ve got to work hard
You’ve got to work hard
So work hard!
