DEPECHE MODE FAN CLUB NEWSLETTERS

Summary: In the autumn of 1987, the Information Service became an actual fan club instead of simply a mailing list. The regular newsletter ended soon after, being replaced by the magazine "Bong", but newsletters were still sent out sporadically for special events.

Many thanks to Michael Rose for kindly supplying photocopies of the newsletters.
