Stripped is a fine example of Depeche Mode at their very best. Yet, I bought this single because it included the rare extended version of the b-side, But Not Tonight. This song begins with a quiet synth melody and progresses to become a poetic masterpiece about the beauty of solitude. I recommend this single for any true Depeche Mode fan, this is without a doubt, one of their greatest songs.

With out doubt the best packaged single of a band renowned for it's style."But not tonight" is such a classic Depeche tune of this era it deserved more sucess on it's own, not stuck on a B side.Maybe someday the powers at mute records may in their wisdom release it on it's own, maybe for Depeche Mode's 25th birthday.Then the world would get to hear the best song in Depeche's vast catalogue.

"Stripped" is one of the best songs Depeche Mode ever made! "let me hear you make decisions..without your television". This is indeed a powerful track with lots of good vibrations in it. It is a timeless piece that can be played everywhere and anytime. The best thing is that you get "but not tonight" as well. This is probably their best "b-side" ever,and a mystery why it did not appear on any vinyl albums from that era. "Breathing in fumes" is an alternative version of "stripped",and a very good one."Fly on the windscreen" is from "black celebration" too as well as the main song,but here in another version wich is just great! A definite must for a DM-FAN! (and electronic,synth fans)

This is a great song! I first came across it by a co-worker of mine. I listened to it off of the "Say Anything" soundtrack and was completely hooked. The live version is so intense. I had so many emotions running through me and had to play it over and over again. A must listen to!

Without doubt Stripped is a great song, but what a pleasant surprise to find another great tune in "But not tonight"
