Ultra: The 12in Singles (Vinyl Box Set)
Ultra: The 12″ Singles, a collector’s edition deluxe box set, contains eight 12″ vinyl discs presenting four singles-Barrel of a Gun, It’s No Good, Home, and Useless-with key B-sides, mixes and live recordings contemporaneous to Depeche Mode’s ninth studio album, Ultra, originally released in April 1997.
Three of the 12″ vinyl discs in Ultra | The 12″ Singles are comprised of tracks first released across CD singles throughout 1997. Each of these new discs feature artwork reflecting the original CD single releases, to create newly compiled 12″s that complement the initial releases.
The group’s first album as a trio (Martin Gore, David Gahan, Andrew Fletcher) since 1982’s A Broken Frame, Ultra carried on Depeche Mode’s tradition of releasing monumental 12″ singles to supplement and compliment their albums. Ultra premiered essential additions to the DM canon including “Barrel of a Gun,” “It’s No Good,” “Home,” and “Useless.”
