Out Now: Depeche Mode – The VIOLATOR Singles
On March 19, Depeche Mode’s VIOLATOR celebrated its 30th anniversary...and, yes, that’s a real punch in the gut, so we’ll allow you a moment to catch your breath and kind of absorb just how old that makes you.
Better now? Well, if not, you’d better suck it up, buttercup, because we’ve got DM news: today marks the release of VIOLATOR | THE 12” SINGLES, a new deluxe box set that contains ten – count ‘em – ten vinyl singles. We’re talking “Personal Jesus,” “Enjoy The Silence,” “Policy Of Truth,” “World In My Eyes,” and key B-sides and mixes contemporaneous to Depeche Mode's watershed Violator album.
If you’re doing the math and can’t figure out how four songs adds up to ten singles, we can explain that easily enough: there are two “Personal Jesus” singles, three “Enjoy the Silence” singles, two “Policy of Truth” singles, and three “World in My Eyes” singles.
Got it? Good, because the singles are out there now, and they’re ready to be bought!
