history
Stripped was recorded with Daniel Miller and Gareth Jones during the recording of Black Celebration in late 1985 and was the first single from the album. The piece used sampling in an innovative way . A distorted motorcycle sound was used for the rhythm. At the beginning you can hear the ignition of a car, at the end fireworks noises were used. One of the three B-side tracks of the single Stripped , But Not Tonight , was used by the Sire Records label for the film Hummeln im Hintern (Modern Girls) and was released as a single on October 22, 1986 in the USA, with Stripped again as B. -Side acted.
