Depeche Mode Ultra The 12" Singles Numbered 8EP Box Set
 
Eight 12" Singles Faithfully Reproduced From Original Artwork & Audio Masters!
 
Ultra - The 12" Singles, a Collector's Edition Deluxe Boxed Set, contains eight 12" vinyl discs presenting four singles - "Barrel Of A Gun", "It's No Good", "Home" and "Useless" - with key B-sides, mixes and live recordings contemporaneous to Depeche Mode's ninth studio album, Ultra, originally released April 14, 1997.
 
Three of the 12" vinyl discs in Ultra - The 12" Singles are comprised of tracks first released on CD singles throughout 1997. Each of these new 12" discs features artwork reflecting the original CD single releases, now expanded to 12" vinyl for the first time.
 
The group's first album as a trio (Martin Gore, David Gahan, Andrew Fletcher) since 1982's A Broken Frame, Ultra carried on Depeche Mode's tradition of releasing monumental 12" singles to supplement and compliment their albums. Ultra premiered essential additions to the DM canon including "Barrel Of A Gun", "It's No Good", "Home" and "Useless".
 
From their earliest days as a band, Depeche Mode have championed 12" vinyl, embracing the format's singular power and potential for innovation. The 12" single allowed the band to explore new sonic possibilities while the tactile real-world beauty of physical packaging gave Depeche Mode room to develop their sophisticated and commanding design aesthetic.
 
Depeche Mode used their singles discography as a means of offering left field remixes, rare B-sides, standout concert performances and other exclusive delights for fans.
 
Each boxed set contains the singles from each Depeche Mode album on audiophile-quality 12" 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.
