Description

£91.99 – 5x 12″ Singles Boxset

Depeche Mode‘s 12″ vinyl singles project continues with the release of Black Celebration: The 12″ Singles. This definitive box set contains the 12″ vinyl singles contemporaneous to Black Celebration (1986). A pivotal release in the Depeche Mode canon, this album advanced the band’s musical mission, moving their sound from industrial pop into darker atmospheric emotional territory. Following its original  release, Black Celebration became the group’s then-highest charting album in both the UK and Germany, expanding their influence across pop culture while inspiring myriad young musicians to start bands of their own.

The next year, Music For The Masses (1987) furthered Depeche Mode’s international mass appeal, breaking open the United States and other markets with the record-setting Music For The Masses Tour. An electrifying and historic adventure for band and audiences worldwide, the tour included Depeche Mode concerts in then-communist East Berlin, Budapest, and Prague.

The singles from the Black Celebration era extended Depeche Mode’s increasingly mind-blowing run of 12″ singles and featured some of the band’s most sublime artwork to date; showcasing some of the most enduring singles in the Depeche Mode back-catalogue such as “A Question Of Lust” and “Stripped”.

Black Celebration: The 12″ Singles contains the four original 12″ releases from the album plus a 12″ vinyl version of the limited edition “A Question of Lust” cassette release, available for the first time internationally in this collection.

Also available is the Music For The Masses: The 12″ Singles Boxset including the seven original and special edition 12″ vinyl singles from the album.
