Propaganda's classic 1985 debut album A Secret Wish is reissued as this SDE exclusive blu-ray audio and features brand new Dolby Atmos, 5.1 and Stereo mixes by David Kosten.

Formed in Düsseldorf in 1982, Propaganda signed with ZTT Records in 1983 and released their first single 'Dr Mabuse' in 1984. The album was written by Mertens and Dörper and received considerable critical acclaim when released in early July 1985 and peaked at #16 on the UK Albums Chart.

Other singles from A Secret Wish include 'Duel', which reached #21 in the UK singles chart and 'p:Machinery' which was issued a month after the album's original release.

The album was rebuilt for Dolby Atmos from the multi-track tapes by David Kosten who says "I bought A Secret Wish on the day it was released in 1985 – I still remember playing the vinyl and having a wonderful kind of out-of-body experience on hearing Jewel for the first time. This was music to be immersed in and inspired by, with vast creative ambition and endless sonic bravery".

This new blu-ray features the Dolby Atmos Mix, as well as his 5.1 mix and stereo versions. All Kosten's 2025 mixes are based on the original vinyl version of the album (as opposed to the later CD edition).

Additionally, full instrumental versions of the album are available in Atmos, 5.1 and Stereo and there's also headphones-only binaural versions available as vocal and instrumental versions.

Finally, the original 1985 stereo mixes of A Secret Wish are included on this disc in vinyl and CD variants
