Happy Birthday “Its no good”

Heute feiert die zweite Single aus dem legendären “Ultra” Album von Depeche Mode Geburtstag. Der extrem poppige Song mit ungewöhnlich langsamen Refrain klettere in Deutschland und Grossbritianien auf den 5. Platz der Charts.

Die B-Seite bildet der Instrumental Track “Slowblow”, der natürlich während der Aufnahmen zum “Ultra” Album entstanden ist.

All songs written by Martin Gore.
