Welcome to my Depeche Mode collector’s page
Here you'll find my collection above all, from
Albums to
Solo releases. There also
is a Facts
section that lists 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 commercial UK/EU 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). I lately
realized the beauty of the UK editions compared to others –
the colours, the printing and paper quality, the label artwork, the
minimum use of company info, the catalogue numbers... However they
were replaced with EU editions in the late 2002, but these have been
as great, actually.
About the collection: I've tried to mention as many relevant details as possible
about each item except for standards like label artwork for UK/EU vinyl, 33/45 RPM for vinyl albums/singles etc. Merchandise and Solo contain images of t-shirts, posters, postcards and more. Also, all items that are listed in the excellent depmod.com discography are linked there for images and tracklistings (thanks Lars). I've scanned a lot for that site which means that many scans are from the actual items in my collection. If you have any comments please send an e-mail to love@mrlove.org.
