Further extras include two enamel badges, a poster, artcards and a certificate of authenticity.

 
Depeche Mode have been one of the better supporters of surround music. What's the deal there, anyway? What I mean is to ask if there is a particular band member in DM who really digs surround the way that Steve Wilson of PT does? Or, if not, how is it that we still got this new release in surround?

Looks like we have Mute Records to thank. Found this fantastic article. These guys spared no expense to make sure fans got a top notch product. Very classy organization! The 2 DM SACDs I have are excellent!

Good article. Thanks for the link! And looks like they did well to redo this albums now before the originals got in too bad of shape.
