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 "Get The Balance Right"

There’s more besides the joyrides
A little house in the country-side
Understand, learn to demand
Compromise but sometimes lie.

Get the balance right
Get the balance right

Be responsible, respectable
Stable but gullibe
Concerned and caring, help the helpless
But always remain ultimately selfish

Get the balance right
Get the balance right

When you think you’ve got a hold of it all
You haven’t got a hold it all
When you reach the top get ready to drop
Prepare yourself for the fall
Your’re gonna fall
It’s almost predictabel
Almost

Don’t tend this way, don’t tend that way
Straight down the middle until next Thursday
First to left, back to right
Twist and turn‚ till you`ve got it right
