Depeche Mode’s Video for “Stripped” Gets an Alternate Cut

In celebration of one of Depeche Mode’s most beloved albums Black Celebration receiving its forthcoming 12-inch singles box set, director Peter Care has unveiled an alternate cut of his original music video for “Stripped,” the first single released from band’s 1986 album.

The differences are subtle, but enough to turn head and notice, such as the more subdued cuts of the sledgehammers percussively smashing the junkyard automobile in question.

Watch Below:

On May 31st, Depeche Mode will continue its vinyl box-set singles campaign with Black Celebration: The 12″ Singles and Music For The Masses: The 12″ Singles,, a pair of multi-disc collections featuring the original UK 12-inch singles that accompanied each album.

(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.

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.
