Ultra - 2021 European Mute label 34-track 8x12" Box set

Depeche Mode continue their 12-inch box set series with Ultra: The 12″ Singles box set, and eight-record package due for release in September.

The box set contains two 12-inch records for each of the four singles: ‘Barrel of a Gun’, ‘It’s No Good’, ‘Home’ and ‘Useless’. Because the album was issued in 1997, this was were deep into the era where CD singles were becoming the dominant commercial format in the UK for remixes. For this reason Sony have announced that three of the 12-inches in this new set “are comprised of tracks first released on CD singles”, with artwork expanded to reflect this.

The first ‘Barrel Of A Gun’ 12-inch (12BONG25) comes in a gatefold sleeve and includes a large six-panel poster. The rest are single sleeve and don’t have posters. As with previous boxes, this set includes a download code

The audio is “mastered from the original tapes” and the vinyl sleeves feature the original single artwork.
