Depeche Mode continue their collector's edition box set series with announcement of Spirit | The 12” Singles
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".
