Depeche Mode unearthed the "Stripped (Alternate Cut)" from their archives. "Stripped" was the first single and video released off Black Celebration in 1986. The band shared the alternate cut video today in promotion of their upcoming limited edition single box sets for Black Celebration and Music For The Masses which arrive as individual box sets later this month. Like the original version of the "Stripped" music video, the alternate cut version was directed by Peter Care. View both versions of the video below.
As with the previously released limited edition box sets in the series, the sets for Black Celebration and Music For The Masses feature audio mastered from the original tapes, and includes original singles and special 12" vinyl. The artwork for the outer box packaging was inspired by the original releases, while the vinyl sleeves contained inside feature the original single artwork. The box sets will be released May 31st and are available to pre-order here.
Depeche Mode's previous albums Speak And Spell, A Broken Frame, Construction Time Again, and Some Great Reward were issued as box sets in 2018 and are available to purchase here.
