Unknown - Shake The Disease (Martin's Demo Version Instrumental)
This is a very well made instrumental cover of Martin's original demo. It appears on the CD-R bootleg Shake The Disease (20 Years Edition). The actual performer is unknown.
DX5 - Shake the Disease (Martin Gore Demo)
DX5 on YouTube also created a very good instrumental cover version: DX5 playing "Shake the Disease" (Martin Gore demo)

Shake The Disease (Martin Gore Demo)
Shake The Disease (demo). Martin's demo version of Shake The Disease closely resembles the album version in terms of structure and overall sound. The second verse has some differing lyrics compared to the album version.
The differences are italicized below:
Some people want to be
Permanently together
Lovers devoted
To each other forever
That's not what I mean
That's not for us
We want a different scene
But when I'm not there
In spirit I'll be there
There are a couple faithfully performed instrumental covers of this demo version. See the entry on the fake and misattributed tracks subpage.

Martin Gore in the 1985-08-17 issue of Hitkrant (translated from Dutch):
Gore explained in the 1989-04-15 issue of Melody Maker:
Dave Gahan on ITV's show 'No. 73':
Andrew Fletcher in the July 1985 issue of Popcorn magazine (translated from German):
Gore says in the commentary track on the DVD of '101' in 2003:
Gore in the 1985-08-17 issue of Hitkrant (translated from Dutch):
When Depeche Mode was interviewed about the songs on the '101' CD for the April 1989 issue of French magazine 'Best', Fletcher said (translated from French):
Dave Gahan, Alan Wilder, and Andrew Fletcher discussed Shake The Disease in an October 1985 interview with British magazine No. 1:
Dave Gahan:
* - No. 1 - October 19 1985 - EVERYTHING COUNTS (in large amounts)
"The song tells the story of a one-sided relationship between a girl and a boy. They realize that it is as good as over for them. So it's a poignant song, but not real life. Christine [Friedrich, girlfriend] and I are still doing very well. A breakup is definitely out of the question."
Gore explained in the 1989-04-15 issue of Melody Maker:
"Sometimes [the links between songs] are very obvious, there are things like references cos I really like references to other songs. In ‘Shake The Disease’ there’s a reference to another song. You know it says, Now I've got things to do // and I've said before that I know you have too. And in another song [Stories Of Old] it said, Now I've got things to do // you have too. I really like those kind of references."
Dave Gahan on ITV's show 'No. 73':
"It's basically a love song, and it's really about the problems of not being able to get across what you really mean, in love, when you're actually trying to talk to someone that you, let's say, fancy, you know, you fancy someone at school or whatever and you're trying to talk to them. Sometimes it's very difficult, you know, and that's what it's basically about. And he's trying to shake that disease of not being able to talk to people."
Andrew Fletcher in the July 1985 issue of Popcorn magazine (translated from German):
"We are all in happy relationships, and this song is our thank you to our women, who must not have always had it easy with us. The text deals with the problem of how difficult is to keep a relationship in our situation, because we are so often separated. But we can't write it without a shot of egoism, in our opinion. It is important that you openly state the things that bother you - and that's what 'Shake The Disease' is mostly about."
Gore says in the commentary track on the DVD of '101' in 2003:
"We really struggled with a title for this song. And it's just a small part from one of the lines of the song. I think it was actually Daniel [Miller] was like, "Oh that line sounds good as a title". It stuck after that. But it was obviously from one of the lines of the song, but all the other lines sounded so bad as titles, [like] 'Understand Me'."
Gore in the 1985-08-17 issue of Hitkrant (translated from Dutch):
"With 'Shake The Disease', we should finally succeed in the States. Our past dance tracks have all hopelessly disappeared. So we thought it was a good idea to attack the U.S. market with this slow, delicate track."
When Depeche Mode was interviewed about the songs on the '101' CD for the April 1989 issue of French magazine 'Best', Fletcher said (translated from French):
"It's one of the songs we've been playing for a long time. Every time I hear it, it reminds me of the music video. I cannot forget the music video. I had to stand on some kind of machine and allow it to drop me to my side. I had no confidence in this device that was supposed to hold me back in my drop. I thought I'd die that day."
Dave Gahan, Alan Wilder, and Andrew Fletcher discussed Shake The Disease in an October 1985 interview with British magazine No. 1:
Dave Gahan:
Andrew Fletcher:"Another one of those tracks which I think is a great song where we didn't really give it enough in the studio. We were touring and trying to make a record at the same time. It was the first single where we had nothing to do with the mixing."
Dave Gahan:"When we came back from America there were loads of things we didn't like about it."
Alan Wilder:"It was crying for a great big chorus but it didn't happen."
Alan Wilder[*]:"It is a great song. Sould[sic] have been a very big hit. It did very well elsewhere."
"It was the sort of song you needed to hear a few times."
