Sony will issue a new 18CD Depeche Mode box set called simply MODE, in November.  A literal ‘black celebration’ of Depeche Mode’s career with all albums across 14 CDs and four CDs of bonus material. 

The box set collects all 14 studio albums and includes four bonus discs of chronological non-album material (B-sides, bonus tracks and non-album material).

This is a numbered, limited-edition set (no word on how limited) and is housed in a minimalist black cube, with each disc similarly enclosed in a black, heavyweight card wallet. The albums’ original covers have been re-interpreted in special black-on-black designs exclusive to the box set.

As well as the discs, this set comes with a 228 page, gilt-edged book containing all of Depeche Mode’s lyrics, compiled together for the first time. There is no mention of remastering at all, at this stage.

MODE will be released on 22 November 2019 and costs £200+.
