"People Are People" is a Depeche Mode compilation album released in North America by Sire Records on July 2 1984 to capitalize on the successful radio play of the song "People Are People", which was a single from the band's upcoming album "Some Great Reward".

This release contained nine tracks, six of which were re-released from previous albums or singles and three of which were new tracks for the American audience (the newest single "People Are People", the single "Get the Balance Right!" which had only seen a 12" release in America, and the non-American single "See You"'s B-side, "Now, This is Fun"). The track "Work Hard" was originally released as the B-side on the "Everything Counts" single.

"Love in Itself" is also included in a slightly different form. The version included on this release is the same as the album version, but with a "clean" ending, since the album version fades into "More Than a Party" on "Construction Time Again". It was also the first time the 7" version of "Leave in Silence" was released in the United States.

The album was originally released on LP and CD with the band name and album name missing from the album cover. These names were then added to the covers for later re-releases.
