Although I already owned all regular releases, I started "seriously" collecting Depeche Mode's releases from all over the world in the late 80s. But when the internet and espacially eBay came up, I wanted to specialise my collection, because with eBay it was not a question of "how to find a rarity?" anymore, but just a question of "who pays the most?". That was the start of my collection of Depeche Mode cover versions.

I really like it when artists create a completely new mood in a cover version. For me, the best covers are very often just unknown tracks on an artist's album, while many tribute compilations are just "sound-a-likes" without own creativity.

Lyrics of "See You"

All I want to do is see you again.
Is that too much to ask for?
I just want to see your sweet smile,
Smiled the way it was before.
Well I’ll try not to hold you
And I’ll try not to kiss you.
And I won’t even touch you.

All I want to do is see you
Don’t you know that it’s true.

I remember the days when we walked through the woods,
We’d sit on a bench for a while.
I treasure the way we used to laugh and play
And look in each others eyes.
You can keep me at a distance if you don’t trust my resistance.
But I swear I won’t touch you.

Well I know five years is a long time and that times change
But I think that you will find people are basically the same.

If the water’s still flowing we can go for a swim
And do the things we used to do.
And if I’m reluctant you can pull me in,
We can relive our youth.
But we’ll just stay friendly like sister and brother
Though I think I still love you.

All I want to do is see you
Don’t you know that it’s true.
