Mange Tout is the second studio album by the English synth-pop duo Blancmange, released in May 1984 by London Records. It was Blancmange's most successful studio album, peaking at number eight on the UK Albums Chart and was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) on 25 January 1985 for sales in excess of 100,000 copies. The album contained four UK top-40 singles, two of which reached the top 10.[1] The fourth single to be released and final track on the album is a cover version of ABBA's song "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 remastered deluxe edition was released by Edsel Records in 2008, which featured a second disc of remixes and B-sides.
