Mange Tout is the second album by the British synthpop duo Blancmange. Released in May 1984, it was Blancmange's most successful album, peaking at number 8 in the UK album chart[3] and was certified Gold by the BPI for sales in excess of 100,000 copies.[4] The album contained four UK Top 40 singles, two of which reached the Top 10.[5] The fourth single to be released and final track on the album is a cover version of ABBA's penultimate single The Day Before You Came.

In addition to the usual vinyl and cassette release, a limited edition vinyl picture disc was also released. The album was later released on CD, and a 2-disc remastered Deluxe Edition was released by Edsel in 2008 which featured the album along with a second disc of remixes and B-sides.
