[Source: Side-Line, March 1st, 2006]

As announced exclusively by Side-Line already last year (and as usually denied by the official website and the label at that time), Mute/EMI are to release the entire back catalogue of Depeche Mode as SACD including limited editions holding a DVD as well.

The first three releases to hit the shop shelves are "Speak & Spell", "Music For The Masses" and "Violator". These albums are presented as single CD remastered versions alongside a double disc edition containing a Hybrid Super Audio CD and a newly remixed 5.1 mix of the albums themselves. The DVD discs are further enhanced with extra bonus tracks/remixes and 30+ minute documentaries featuring exclusive live and TV appearances.

The additional bonus tracks for "Violator" are the b-sides "Dangerous", "Memphisto", "Sibeling", "Kaleid", "Happiest Girl (Jack Mix)", "Sea Of Sin (Tonal Mix)" and the 33 minutes documentary "Depeche Mode 89 - 91 (If You Wanna Use Guitars, Use Guitars)."

The limited edition of "Music For The Masses" holds the additional bonus tracks "Agent Orange", "Pleasure, Little Treasure", "Route 66", "Stjarna", "Sonata No.14 in C#m (Moonlight Sonata)", "Never Let Me Down Again (Aggro Mix)", "To Have And to Hold (Spanish Taster)", "Pleasure, Little Treasure (Glitter Mix)" and the 36 minutes documentary "Depeche Mode 87 - 88 (Sometimes You Do Need Some New Jokes)."

Finally "Speak & Spell" holds the following additional bonus tracks on its limited edition: "Ice Machine", "Shout", "Any Second Now", "Just Can't Get Enough (Schizo Mix)" and the 27 minutes documentary "Depeche Mode 80 - 81 (Do We Really Have To Give Up Our Day Jobs?)." All these fine re-releases will be out on March 27th.
