People Are People is a compilation album released in North America by Depeche Mode on July 2 1984 to capitalize off the successful radio play of the song "People Are People", which was a single from the band's upcoming album Some Great Reward. This release contained nine tracks, six of which were re-released from previous albums or singles and three of which were new tracks for the American audience (the newest single "People Are People", the single "Get the Balance Right!" which had not been released in America, and the non-American single "See You"'s B-side, "Now This is Fun"). The final three tracks appear in different forms than those seen of previous albums, as been marked below. In addition to these different forms, "Love in Itself" was also in a slightly different form. The version included on this release is the same as the album version, with a "clean" ending, since the album version fades into "More Than a Party" on Construction Time Again. Similarly, the song "Pipeline" has a clean intro. On Construction Time Again, the song "More than a Party" faded into "Pipeline". It was also the first time the 7" version of "Leave in Silence" was available in the USA.
