Depeche Mode's Spirit: The 12" Singles on 180g 7 x 12" EP Box Set.
Spirit | The 12" Singles, a collector's edition deluxe box set, contains seven 12" vinyl discs including custom replicas of the original three double 12" singles from Spirit (Depeche Mode's 14th studio album): “Where's the Revolution” (originally released 3 February 2017, in advance of the album), “Going Backwards” (released 23 June 2017), and “Cover Me” (released 6 October 2017). As a bonus for Depeche Mode fans, Spirit | The 12" Singles premieres a special seventh disc: the first-ever 12" vinyl pressing of the band's legendary Highline Sessions, recorded live in New York City on 3 August 2016. The most complete recording of Depeche Mode's Highline Sessions ever released in any format, this five-song 12" vinyl single includes DM's galvanizing cover of David Bowie's "Heroes" (celebrating the anthem's 2017 40th anniversary) and two previously unreleased performances of songs from Spirit: “So Much Love” and “Poison Heart.” Depeche Mode's Spirit | The 12" Singles comes in a numbered edition housed in a deluxe slipcase including seven 12" 180g vinyl discs, riveting artwork recontextualizing original album covers, a replica poster and download card.
Depeche Mode recorded their Spirit album from April through August 2016 at Sound Design in Santa Barbara, California, and Jungle City in New York, working for the first time with producer James Ford. Released through Columbia/Mute on 17 March 2017, Spirit was the last Depeche Mode studio album to feature founding member and keyboardist Andy Fletcher before his passing on 26 May 2022.
Spirit pushed Depeche Mode into unexpected new directions, the album's lyrical content directly addressing global societal issues with music hitting its emotional targets with laser precision, the band's personal concerns expressed in universal social commentary, more relevant today than ever. Like previous album releases, Spirit expanded Depeche Mode's aesthetic vision and musical repertoire while continuing their tradition of issuing monumental 12" singles to supplement and complement their albums.
