The album consisted of tracks by unsigned synth-pop groups, including future alternative icons Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, The The and Blancmange. The acts were not signed exclusively to the label at the time. It was released in 1981 as a sampler of the label's musical ethos.
Some Bizzare Album is the first album issued by Some Bizzare Records. "Photographic" was recorded and mixed in one day.Lo que hace muy especial a esta copia de Some Bizarre Album es que fue adquirida en la tienda de discos Geofrey’s en Basildon, ya desaparecida, localidad de origen del grupo Depeche Mode.Įn este disco aparece Photographic, que fue la primera canción publicada de Depeche Mode. The band set up their equipment in the studio and ran through some of their tracks live in the studio. Miller acted as an informal producer on the recording of the Some Bizzare version of the "Photographic" track. Daniel Miller wanted to put a good track on the compilation album, but not their best track. Stevo had then recommended that the band work with Daniel Miller at Mute Records In late 1980, Depeche Mode went into an east London recording studio and recorded the track "Photographic". It was decided that Depeche Mode would record a track for Some Bizzare Album. At the time, the band had been supporting Fad Gadget. During an evening at the Bridgehouse, in Canning Town, Stevo chatted with Depeche Mode about his new label and compilation album. After a bad first meeting with Daniel Miller of Mute Records (Miller was in a bad mood due to a problem with some Fad Gadget artwork) the door was left open for Stevo to include Depeche Mode on his Some Bizzare Album. They first decided to take their demo tape to various other record companies, only to be rejected by everyone. Formed in 1980, Depeche Mode were cautious when first approached by Stevo, they were indecisive about being included on a 'Futurist' compilation album.
