On this day back in 1993, Depeche Mode released the U.S.12" for their second single from Songs Of Faith And Devotion, Walking In My Shoes. I still remember the hype and the buzz around this song, which was the perfect follow up to its rockier predecessor, I Feel You.
The cover image (above) stood out in every record store and the mixes gave new life to the already perfect track.
Official U.S. 12" track listing:
Walking in My Shoes, Extended Twelve Inch Mix
Walking in My Shoes, Random Carpet Mix
Walking in My Shoes, Grungy Gonads Mix
Walking in My Shoes, Anandamidic Mix
Walking in My Shoes, Ambient Whale Mix
My Joy, Slow Slide Mix
Including the excellent b-side My Joy.
The video for Walking In My Shoes was directed the band's frequent artistic collaborator Anton Corbjin:
Without a doubt - the best DM song ever!

People always ask what our favorite DM song is, way too hard to narrow it down. "Photographic" is up there as is "Dangerous", "Sea Of Sin" and so on.....
