Of course, I'll be buying the imports since the CDs in those will be SACD 5.1. And it will be nice to finally have a remastered version of one of my favorite DM songs, "More Than A Party."


"Words like conviction can turn into a sentence"

Woo hoo, Black Celebration remastered! Morons are only a year too late. Shoul have been released ast year, to coincide with the twentieth anniversary.


"Depeche Mode: 1985-86 - The Songs Aren't Good Enough, There Aren't Any Singles And It'll Never Get Played On The Radio"

Aptly named. Best DM album, but not exactly the strongest singles.

Are these previously unreleased versions then?

Sounds like it. Hope they're not just rough demos.

I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that "Fly On The Windscreen" is the version that first appeared on [i]Catching Up With Depeche Mode[/i]. The sell sheet says "alternate versions of these songs," but they may just be including them since they were on that 1985 compilation, not because they are alternate versions.

"Words like conviction can turn into a sentence"

Yeah, looking at it again, I think you're right. Just the A/B sides of the previous singles.
