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 "Puppets"

Get that feeling
head is reeling
You think you’re in control
But you don’t know me babe
I can move you
I can soothe you
I can take you places in a different way

And I don’t you think you understand
What I’m trying to say
I’ll be your operator baby
I’m in control

Watch your action
Close reaction
And everything you’re thinking of inside your head
Conversation
My creation
Nothing that you do you’ll do unless I said

And you don’t know the consequences
Of the things you say
I’ll be your operator baby
I’m in control

And all the things you try to do babe
And all the words we said before
Are only part of what I started baby
And you can’t stop me anymore….

Get that feeling
Head is reeling
You think you’re in control
but you don’t know me babe
I can move you
I can soothe you
I can take you places in a different way

And I don’t you think you understand
What I’m trying to say
I’ll be your operator baby
I’m in control
