DEPECHE’S 12" SINGLES SERIES REACHES THE LP WITH THEIR MOST ECLECTIC SET OF COLLABORATORS, FROM HARD HOUSE TO GRIZZLED POST-PUNK
Whether it’s the ongoing series of problems affecting vinyl production, or simply wanting to give fans a breather, there’s been a longer gap than usual in between Depeche Mode singles boxsets.
Since starting out in 2018 with the 12" singles accompanying Speak & Spell, the following seven Depeche studio albums received a 12" compendium too quick for fans and compilers alike to keep pace with. Not only was the £115 price tag forbidding, many of the boxsets frustratingly missed off a remix here and there.
