Catching Up With Depeche Mode

Catching Up with Depeche Mode is a compilation album by English electronic music band Depeche Mode. It was released solely in North America on 11 November 1985 by Sire Records. October 1985 saw the international release of the album The Singles 81→85, which collected the band's seven-inch singles to that date. Sire Records felt a new album would have to differ from this international release since some of the band's singles had already appeared on the compilation People Are People the previous year. Catching Up with Depeche Mode included the band's singles not already available on People Are People - all but "Leave in Silence", "Get the Balance Right!", "Everything Counts", and "People Are People" - as well as two B-sides, "Flexible" and "Fly on the Windscreen". Catching Up with Depeche Mode peaked at number 113 on the US Billboard 200. Nevertheless, the album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on 2 August 2000.
