Catching Up With Depeche Mode is a compilation of some early Depeche Mode tracks. It was one of two Depeche compilations I scored while doing some Half Priced Books shopping in May, and I wasn't about to pass it up just because it was missing some key early tracks (e.g., "People Are People"). Initially, a lot of the appeal lay in the presence of "Blasphemous Rumours," a magnificent song I was more than happy to get on CD. However, plenty of the other tracks here are also awesome. Opener "Dreaming of Me" was one of my favourites of the previously unknown to me tracks, but the number one of those was "Somebody." Overall, the material here is strong, and this is worth picking up at a reasonable price; however, a somewhat more complete overview of this period's Depeche Mode output is provided by The Singles 81>85 or acquiring the first few Depeche Mode singles boxes.
