Background and release

Depeche Mode joined Mute Records in late 1980/early 1981, and "Dreaming of Me" was the band's first official single, released on 20 February 1981 before the album Speak & Spell was recorded.Template:Sfn Released only in Europe with catalogue number MUTE013 in the UK and INT 197.206 in Germany, early pressings of the UK single were distributed by Rough Trade Records and later pressings by Spartan Distributors.Template:Sfn There was no 12" release of the original single.Template:Sfn

"Dreaming of Me" reached number 57 on the UK charts, but did not appear on UK pressings of Speak & Spell, released in October 1981.Template:Sfn The original UK release instead included the track "I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead"; international versions replaced that track with "Dreaming of Me".Template:Sfn

The single's B-side, "Ice Machine", was one of three tracks the band originally put on a demo tape of theirs when they were shopping for a record label, before joining Mute.Template:Sfn
