Depeche Mode fans rejoice! The iconic synth-pop band is releasing a limited-edition deluxe box set, *Spirit | The 12" Singles*, packed with sonic delights for collectors and devoted listeners alike.
This lavish set features seven 12" vinyl discs, including faithful replicas of the original three double 12" singles from their 2017 album, *Spirit*. These singles, *Where's the Revolution*, *Going Backwards*, and *Cover Me*, are lovingly remastered for an immersive audio experience.
But wait, there's more! For the first time ever, Depeche Mode are presenting their legendary *Highline Sessions
on 12" vinyl. This special seventh disc in the box set captures the band's electrifying performance, recorded live in New York City on 3 August 2016. This is the most complete recording of the *Highline Sessions* ever released, featuring a thrilling five-song setlist.
Prepare to be transported back to the heart of Depeche Mode's energetic show as you listen to their cover of David Bowie's iconic "Heroes", a fitting tribute to the anthem's 40th anniversary. Add to that two previously unreleased performances of "So Much Love" and "Poison Heart", and you have a truly unique and unforgettable addition to your vinyl collection.
The *Spirit
album, recorded in 2016 across California and New York, marked a new chapter for the band. Depeche Mode collaborated with producer James Ford for the first time, crafting a sound that pushed boundaries and redefined their artistic vision. This album also holds a special significance as it was the final studio album to feature founding member and keyboardist Andy Fletcher, who sadly passed away in 2022.
This deluxe box set is a treasure trove for any Depeche Mode enthusiast. With its meticulously crafted vinyl discs, rare recordings, and nostalgic nods to the band's legacy, *Spirit | The 12" Singles
is a must-have for fans who cherish the power of music and the lasting impact of Depeche Mode's artistic journey.
The box set is scheduled for release on September 20, 2024. Pre-order your copy today and immerse yourself in the sonic brilliance of Depeche Mode's *Spirit
era!
