Originally released on 11 November 1985, Catching Up With Depeche Mode is the third compilation album by the boys from Basildon. This record did not have an official release in the UK and Europe, as it is the North American equivalent of the European compilation The Singles 81→85. Additionally, the track listing is different. The singles Leave In Silence, Get The Balance Right!, Everything Counts, and People Are People are omitted from this release since they all appear on the 1984 North American compilation People Are People. Instead, Catching Up With Depeche Mode features the tracks Flexible and Fly On The Windscreen.
