The group’s first album as a trio since 1982’s ‘A Broken Frame’, ‘Ultra’ was originally released in 1997 with a line-up of Martin Gore, David Gahan, Andrew Fletcher.
The 12” vinyl singles project began in 2018 via Sony Music Entertainment, with releases containing the singles from each Depeche Mode album on audiophile-quality vinyl, with audio mastered from the original tapes.
The artwork for the exterior of each of the box sets draws on iconography inspired by the original releases, while the vinyl sleeves themselves feature the original single artwork.
‘Ultra – The 12″ Singles’ is available to pre-order now.
