Important 'notes':
  • At the time of its release in the US, Personal Jesus' was the biggest selling 12" single in Warner Music history.
  • In between 'Enjoy The Silence' and 'Policy Of Truth', there is an interlude. The voice heard shouting 'Crucified' is that of Andrew Fletcher but it's distorted.
  • Another interlude can be heard in between 'Blue Dress' and 'Clean'.
