Yeah, the wait has come to end – here it is: the brand new double CD release from the world’s most famous Depeche Mode tribute series! Not less than 35 tracks with more than 157 minutes playing time!

There are 4 premieres on this tribute, songs that have never been covered officially before: “Two Minute Warning” (man, how long did we have to wait for that one???) and 3 tracks from “Playing The Angel”: “Suffer Well”, “Nothing’s Impossible” and “Lilian”. Oh, if anyone’s wondering about the barcode: it’s from the US edition of the “Speak & Spell” CD :-)

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.
