Start here
A vast, immersive plunge into gothic gloom and beauty, anchored by 'Pictures of You' and 'Lovesong'. Widely considered the band's masterpiece. Best experienced as one long, enveloping mood. Not their most famous record, but one of their most consistent.
On vinyl: Many '80s records have had strong reissue programmes — check for a recently mastered version.
