Depeche’s Cover – Nodisco

This is the 1988 re-print, made by the former German Depeche Mode Fanclub “B.M.A. – Black Monument Association”. This is the mega-rare original 1985 release by Time Records, Italy. Comes in dark purple vinyl as numbered limited edition (mine is number 222).

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 "Nodisco"

I saw you in the picture
I saw you play the part
This ain’t nodisco

There’s a thousand watching you
You take this too far
This ain’t nodisco

Sometimes when I wonder if you’re taking a chance
This ain’t nodisco and you know how to dance (to dance)

Move me disco
Baby don’t you let go
This ain’t nodisco

Part one act one everyone pretend
This ain’t nodisco

This is no story and we’re reaching the end
This ain’t nodisco

Always makes me happy when you’re taking a chance
This ain’t nodisco and you know how to dance

Move me disco
Baby don’t you let go
This ain’t nodisco

I saw you in the picture
I saw you play the part
This ain’t nodisco

There’s a thousand watching you
You take this too far
This ain’t nodisco

Sometimes when I wonder if you’re taking a chance
This ain’t nodisco and you know how to dance

Move me disco
Baby don’t you let go
This ain’t nodisco

Move me disco
Baby don’t you let go
Move me disco
Baby don’t you let go
Move me disco
Baby don’t you let go
This ain’t nodisco
