DRC1 – DepecheRockCovers Vol. 1

Release year: 2008
Release version: Digital only

This is probably the first rock-only Depeche Mode tribute. Although this project is mainly intended as a non-commercial download-only release, there’s also an extremely limited CD edition. And by the way… have a look at the booklet, this is the first CD that I am credited in :-)

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.
