On this day in music history: September 27, 1982 - “A Broken Frame”, the second album by Depeche Mode is released. Produced by Depeche Mode and Daniel Miller, it is recorded at Blackwing Studios in London from December 1981 - July 1982. It is the bands’ first album to be written entirely by Martin Gore and the first without original member Vince Clarke, who departs to form Yazoo (Yaz) with singer Alison Moyet. Clarke’s replacement Alan Wilder does not actually appear on the album but will officially join the band during their second UK tour that year. The album will spin off three singles including “Leave In Silence” and “See You”. The album will be remastered in 2006 as a hybrid SACD (high definition Super Audio Compact Disc)/CD with a bonus DVD featuring six songs from a live concert filmed at the Hammersmith Odeon in London in October of 1982. “A Broken Frame” will peak at number eight  on the UK album chart and number one hundred seventy seven on the Billboard Top 200.
