  Comments
  This nice green vinyl 7" came with the fanzine "Satellite", a DIN A5 newsletter from the Depeche Mode Collectors Club Italy. It could also be ordered separately at the club, and although the label says "Limited Numbered Edition of 500", there were actually printed 529 copies. It was released in 1989 as a follow-up for the 1985 12" cover version of "Nodisco" by Depeche's Cover.

  Comments
  "Between the years 1980 and 1982, Depeche Mode performed some tracks live that have never been officially released. Until now, these tracks have only been available on bootlegs of dubious quality. [...] But now the time has come at last: COMING BACK TO YOU have covered these brilliant songs in the style of the early '80s."
  The song "Addiction" is called in fact "Closer all the time", also known under the wrong title "Ghost of modern time".
  Clear CD with a silver circle in the middle containing the music.
  Tracks

Derek Marin : A Tribute To Depeche Mode & Others

              07290001
  Comments
  All other mixes, remakes or whatever you might call the tracks on this CD, are no cover versions - and even this "cover" version of "Monument" uses some original samples. I doubt that this "tribute" is really official, because Derek Marin has already been known as the maker of a bootleg CD ("DM Modemix") with remixes of original Depeche Mode songs which he tried to sell via several official online shops.

  Nodisco from Italy are doing very sound-a-like cover versions, using both original DM sounds sampled or re-mastered from original Depeche Mode CDs and also some self created synth sounds. Track 6 is not a cover version, but a remix medley of original Depeche Mode vocals and sounds. Thanks a lot to Antonio Del Casale for sending me this CD!

  Contains 14 instrumental synthesizer cover versions.
  I'm not sure if the artist's name is really "Sólo Instrumental", because there's no info printed on the sleeve of this CD, but there are also some other albums called "Sólo Instrumental" released by the same record company. So as long as I don't know anything further I will call this artist "Sólo Instrumental"...

  Romantic-classical project of Nik Page (Ex-Blind Passengers). Vocals by "musicalstar" Michaela Laubach.
  Although I'm sure that Mrs Laubach wanted to sound as artistic as possible, I'm sorry... She only sounds extremely artificially, with often annoying "doitsch-german" pronounciation. Nice try, but failed (for me).

  Looks a bit strange, but according to the sleeve this is the official Thai licencee. The catalog number is neither printed on the sleeve nor on the artwork side of the disc, but only in the matrix of the disc, where also the artist's name is embossed. Can at least be ordered officially from the record company's webshop.
