Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Depeche Mode continues its celebration of the 12-inch single with the latest in its series of vinyl box sets, this one celebrating 1990’s mammoth Violator album with a 10-disc collection of the various 12-inches released to promote that record.
The Violator: The 12″ Singles box set is due out April 24 via Rhino Records — you can pre-order it now — will feature multiple 12-inches for each of the album’s four smash singles: “Personal Jesus,” “Enjoy the Silence,” “Policy of Truth” and “World in My Eyes.”
The set collects those A-sides plus their accompanying B-sides and remixes.
According to Rhino, the box set includes the original and special edition versions of each of those singles, including the etched vinyl version of “Enjoy the Silence,” the blue sealed edition of “World in My Eyes” and a bonus promo 12-inch of “World in My Eyes” that features rare mixes of the A-side and “Happiest Girl.”

Getting a little tired of all this reissue nonsense. The fans want something new.
Very excited for this to come out it will sound and look great in my collections. Still I was hoping there would be a reissue of Shake the D. Route66/Behind the Wheel and Strange Love 1988.
This is definitely going into my collection,now can you bring out the Stripped remixes and Never let me down Remixes and I’ll be a happy man…
Any one know how many violators were printed?
