Interesting facts

Some Great Videos is the first music video compilation by Depeche Mode, featuring ten music videos directed by Clive Richardson and Peter Care, released on 14 October 1985. Its release coincided with The Singles 81→85 and Catching Up with Depeche Mode compilations released in the UK and US.

Background

In 1985, Depeche Mode elected not to record a new album, and instead release singles collections in the US and UK titled Catching Up with Depeche Mode and The Singles 81→85, respectively.

Depeche Mode did not like the videos made for their second album A Broken Frame ("See You", "The Meaning of Love", and "Leave in Silence"), all of which were directed by Julien Temple, with the band's opinions of these videos ranging from "embarrassing" to being "a complete disaster". Alan Wilder later said, "You can pretty much lump all the Julian Temple videos into one collective disaster.
