Depeche Mode to Release Black Celebration and Music For The Masses Singles Box Sets

Depeche Mode are continuing their campaign to release special multi-disc box sets containing audiophile grade 12 inch vinyls of the band’s singles from each album.

Last year saw and follow four previous collections that were issued last year to cover the band’s first four albums Speak and Spell, A Broken Frame, Construction Time Again, and Some Great Reward.

Next month sees the release of Black Celebration: The 12″ Singles and Music For The Masses: The 12″ Singles,

(Order from the US here and here.)

The Black Celebration box set features four 12-inch singles and the Music For the Masses set includes seven 12-inches; both will be released May 31st by Rhino Entertainment

Each of the box sets covering the band’s 1986 and 1987 albums feature singles pressed on audiophile-quality vinyl remastered from the original tapes. Additionally, each single will be packaged in a reproduction of their original vinyl artwork, with the boxes housing the lot featuring artwork that “draws on street art iconography inspired by the original releases,” according to Rhino.
