Depeche Mode – John The Revelator / Lilian

Officially released across various formats in different regions in June and July of 2006, John The Revelator / Lilian is the 44th single by Depeche Mode (and their 37th in the US). It marks the band’s second double A-side single after Blasphemous Rumours / Somebody in 1984. However, John The Revelator / Lilian was only commercially issued on physical formats in Europe, leaving North American fans to contend with digital releases. Both songs were recorded at Santa Barbara Sound Design, and no music video was made for Lilian.
