"Pleasure Little Treasure" is a Martin L. Gore song, words and music, from Music for the Masses, the sixth Depeche Mode album, which Mute released in Britain and Sire in America on 28 September 1987. The band co-produced the record with David Bascombe, cutting it in Paris and London and mixing it in Denmark, and it was the first Depeche Mode album on which Alan Wilder took charge of the production.
The album around it turned the English electronic outfit's sound a corner, pairing dark, inward-looking themes with wide-screen production, and it finally cracked America for them, a push the Music for the Masses Tour carried all the way to a Rose Bowl show in Pasadena.
