Welcome to my Depeche Mode collector’s page
Here you'll find my collection above all, from Albums to Solo releases. There also
is an exhaustive Facts section, listing official tracks not released on UK/EU commercial CD, and Links to other Depeche Mode sites, shops and collectors.
I've been a fan
since 1985 but it wasn't until 2002 I really got into collecting.
I primarily collect UK/EU commercial releases, preferably first pressings,
but also promos and releases from other countries that contain exclusive
tracks and/or artwork (official releases only, no CD-Rs). There is a special quality to the UK editions compared to others: the colours, the printing and paper, the label artwork, the minimum use of company info, the catalogue numbers... In the late 2002 they were however replaced with EU editions, but thankfully these have been of the same high standards.
About the collection: I've tried to mention as many relevant details as possible
about each item except standards like label artwork for UK/EU vinyl, protective inner sleeves for 12″ vinyl, 33/45 RPM for vinyl albums/singles etc. Merchandise also includes images of most items. Besides, there are links to the amazing depmod.com discography for everything that is listed there. I've scanned a lot for that site meaning that many images are from the actual items in my collection.
About Facts: When I got into collecting one of my first objectives was to get all UK commercial CD releases. Later on, I got interested in tracks exclusive to other formats and countries, promos and compilations. This section is an attempt at listing this considerable amount of tracks, as a reference for myself and fellow collectors. It is divided into several subsections depending on the type of release and includes descriptions of many obscure versions, release details and direct links to depmod.com.
