Sony Music Entertainment have announced the continuation of the Depeche Mode 12" vinyl singles project with the release of Spirit | The 12" Singles.

Spirit | The 12" Singles, a collector's edition deluxe box set, contains seven 12" vinyl discs including custom replicas of the original three double 12" singles from Spirit – their fourteenth studio album – Where's the Revolution (originally released 3 February 2017, in advance of the album), Going Backwards (released 23 June 2017), and Cover Me (released 6 October 2017).

As a bonus for Depeche Mode fans, Spirit | The 12" Singles premieres a special seventh disc: the first-ever 12" vinyl pressing of the band's legendary Highline Sessions, recorded live in New York City on 3 August 2016. The most complete recording of Depeche Mode's Highline Sessions ever released in any format, this five-song 12" vinyl single includes their cover of David Bowie's "Heroes" (celebrating the anthem's 2017 40th anniversary) and two previously unreleased performances of songs "So Much Love" and "Poison Heart".

Depeche Mode recorded their Spirit album from April through August 2016 at Sound Design in Santa Barbara, California and Jungle City in New York, working for the first time with producer James Ford. Spirit was the last Depeche Mode studio album to feature founding member and keyboardist Andy Fletcher before his passing on 26 May 2022.

Spirit | The 12" Singles is set for release on 20 September, and is available to pre-order now via depechemodeboxsets.com.
