Depeche Mode - Music for the Masses (The 12'' Singles)

Lisätietoa:

Sony Music Entertainment's Depeche Mode 12" vinyl singles project continues with the release of BLACK CELEBRATION | The 12" Singles and MUSIC FOR THE MASSES | The 12" Singles on 31 May 2019. Each of these definitive box sets contains 12" vinyl singles contemporaneous to either Black Celebration (1986) or Music For The Masses (1987). Both pivotal releases in the Depeche Mode canon, these albums advanced the band's musical mission, moving the DM sound from industrial pop into darker atmospheric emotional territory. Following its release in 1986, Black Celebration became the group's then-highest charting album in both the UK and Germany, expanding their influence across pop culture while inspiring myriad young musicians to start bands of their own. The next year, Music For The Masses furthered Depeche Mode's international mass appeal, breaking open the United States and other markets with the record-setting Music For The Masses Tour. An electrifying and historic adventure for band and audiences worldwide, the tour included Depeche Mode concerts in then-communist East Berlin, Budapest, and Prague. The tour's 101st show, a transcendent performance at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, was attended by more than sixty thousand fans and documented in 101, a concert film by D.A. Pennebaker (Don’t Look Back) and an accompanying live album. Record Mirror called Music For The Masses "the most accomplished and sexy Mode album to date." Black Celebration | The 12" Singles contains the four original 12" releases from the album plus a 12" vinyl version of the limited edition "A Question of Lust" cassette release, available for the first time internationally in this collection. Music For The Masses | The 12" Singles includes the seven original and special edition 12" vinyl singles from the album.
