Originally released on 14 October 1985, Some Great Videos is the second home video by Depeche Mode. Featuring nine singles and a bonus track, it’s also the band’s first music video compilation. The debut single Dreaming Of Me, and New Life (both from 1981), are naturally not included as no videos were made for those songs. The videos for the three singles from the album A Broken Frame (1982); See You, The Meaning Of Love, and Leave In Silence, plus Get The Balance Right! (1983), were simply omitted. In 1998, Some Great Videos was redesigned and reissued as Some Great Videos 81>85.
