Recorded in London, the album marked a transitional period—its darker textures hinted at the more serious, atmospheric direction the band would later embrace. The cover photo, shot by Brian Griffin in an English wheat field, has become one of the most striking visual images in the band’s history, symbolizing their move into new creative territory. For collectors, this LP represents the uncertain but pivotal moment that shaped Depeche Mode’s future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Power Plant Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39501797589179,"sku":"","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/4204\/1658\/products\/download_08d2c6dc-d422-4c69-8edb-0acbdc34140c.jpg?v=1616179009","url":"https:\/\/powerplantrecords.com\/products\/depeche-mode-a-broken-frame","provider":"Power Plant Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
