This 17-song set (previously an import only title) rediscovers the band's original sound and includes 6 songs not on 1985's singles album (Catching Up with Depeche Mode), including their 1st recording with original member Vince Clarke on vocals. This release follows the band's successful U.S. and U.K. tour at the end of 1998 and the release of the Singles 86 98.\n\n\nAmazon.ca\n\n\nThe question we have to ask is \"Why?\" Depeche Mode released\nThe Singles, 86-98 because there was no comprehensive singles collection representing 1986 through 1998. But why release a singles compilation covering 1981 through 1985 when\nCatching Up with Depeche Mode already covers this turf? For one thing, the singles \"Leave in Silence,\" \"Everything Counts,\" and \"People Are People,\" which were absent from\nCatching Up, are included here. All the songs are digitally remastered, but how much does digital enhancement really do to improve the sound of early-'80s synth-pop, which is so dated? Not much. However, it's natural to release a comprehensive singles collection that nicely coincides with\n86-98. Both compilations are great for first-timers. And the two remixes on\n81-85 (\"Photographic [Some Bizarre Version]\" and \"Just Can't Get Enough [Schizo Mix]\") will snag collectors. But maybe the answer has nothing to do with marketable packaging. DM have always fancied themselves as notorious. The liner notes for\n81-85 include one negative review and one positive for each song. Perhaps as an attempt to fend off the specter of \"where are they now?\" Depeche Mode feel the need to remind us how controversial they are by reminding us how controversial they were.\n--Beth Bessmer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 009362472982\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0093624729822\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45931142807586,"sku":"5X-5W6K-7A7H","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/41ANBR5qXMS.jpg?v=1783573923","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/fr\/products\/depeche-mode-the-singles-81-85-cd-used","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
