One of my mixes of lesser known tunes. At least these never made it into the top 40 in the U.S. and thus the title (these did no better than 45 and no worse than 92 on the Pop charts in the year of 1988). Prominently dispayed in this compilation is the group Depeche Mode; all three tracks from their Music for the Masses album (and thus the promo pic of them used here).
