World In My Eyes, DepecheMode - Promo 7' Single

Rare and Hard to find - In Mint Condition

Depeche Mode – World In My Eyes (7" Promo Single)

The "Deep Dive" Details:

• The Rare UK Promo (BONG 20R): If you have the UK promo, check the label for the catalog number BONG 20R. This is significantly rarer than the commercial BONG 20 release. It was issued to radio stations in very limited quantities and features a unique label design compared to the standard retail version.

• The Australian Connection: In Australia, the promo (Catalog: K 10323) was released via Mute/Virgin. Look for a "Sample Record - Not For Sale" sticker or overprint on the label. Australian Depeche Mode promos from the Violator era are highly prized internationally because the local label artwork often differed slightly from the UK/US counterparts.

• The Matrix "Miles" Etching: Look in the runout groove for the name Miles. This indicates it was mastered by Miles Showell at Copymasters. In the world of Depeche Mode vinyl, his "cuts" are considered the sonic gold standard for the Violator singles.

• The "Sea of Sin" Tonal Mix: The 7" contains the "Tonal Mix" of Sea of Sin. This specific mix is often preferred by collectors over the "Sensoria" mix found on the 12", as it captures a more melancholic, synth-heavy atmosphere that fits the Violator aesthetic perfectly.
