'''''Catching Up with Depeche Mode''''' is a compilation album by English [[electronic music]] band [[Depeche Mode]], released solely in North America on 11 November 1985 by [[Sire Records]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://archives.depechemode.com/discography/albums/06_catchingupwithdepechemode.html |title=Catching Up With Depeche Mode |website=DepecheMode.com |access-date=4 October 2017}}</ref>
'''''Catching Up with Depeche Mode''''' is a compilation album by the English [[electronic music]] band [[Depeche Mode]], released solely in North America on 11 November 1985 by [[Sire Records]]. It reached number 113 on the Billboard Top 200 Pop album chart, and was certified Platinum by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] (RIAA) 15 years after its release.


October 1985 saw the international release of the album ''[[The Singles 81→85]]'', which collected the band's seven-inch singles to that date. Sire Records felt a new album in North America would have to differ from this international release, since some of the band's singles had already appeared on the compilation ''[[People Are People (album)|People Are People]]'' the previous year. Therefore, ''Catching Up with Depeche Mode'' omitted any of the band's singles that were already available on ''People Are People'', those songs being "Leave in Silence", "Get the Balance Right!", "Everything Counts", and "People Are People". To compensate, ''Catching Up with Depeche Mode'' includes "The Meaning of Love" and "Somebody", as well as two [[B-side]]s, "Flexible" (from "Shake the Disease") and "Fly on the Windscreen" (from "It's Called a Heart"). This version of "Fly on the Windscreen" predates the final version that would later appear on [[Black Celebration]].
