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 "Pleasure, Little Treasure"

Everybody’s looking for someone to follow
Finding the whole thing hard to swallow
Everybody’s looking for a reason to live
If you’re looking for a reason I’ve a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure

Everybody’s looking for a new sensation
Everybody’s talking about the state of the nation
Everybody’s searching for a promised land
Everybody’s failing to understand
Pleasure, little treasure

Everybody’s looking for a reason to live
If you’re looking for a reason
I’ve a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure

Maternity frocks and paternity suits
If that’s what you want
They’re waiting for you
Everybody need some reason or other
You’ll find a reason when you discover
Pleasure, little treasure

Everybody’s looking for a reason to live
If you’re looking for a reason
I’ve a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure
