Original pressing (without an SID code stamped on hub) with M#S# code in matrix area in a monospace font. (A post-1994 repress, Strangelove, has an SID code and the M#S# code appears in a proportional font.)

Released in Digipak format in 1992, as an extension of the Box Set One-Three (Singles 1-18). The original releases came in standard slimline cases, in 3 separate box sets. They were titled Depeche Mode Singles 1-6, 7-12 & 13-18. This release was an extension of the Box Sets, and would have been Single #19.

Soon thereafter, Sire/Reprise went on to rerelease all of the singles in Digipak format, that were included in the aforementioned Singles Box Sets, so that one could purchase them separately without buying the original 3 Box Sets.

The reason being that when the original Box Sets were released in the US in 1991, Single #18, Little 15, was released out of order. This was due to the fact that Little 15, was never officially released in the UK (it was released in France). Following the sequence of the band's official releases, the correct order was:

Strangelove, Never Let Me Down Again, Behind The Wheel, and then Little 15.

Here is the original US Box Set sequence (which stopped at #18), continuing on with the subsequent re-releases in Digipak format:

#1-Dreaming Of Me
#2-New Life
#3-Just Can't Get Enough
#4-See You
#5-The Meaning Of Love
#6-Leave In Silence
#7-Get The Balance Right
#8-Everything Counts
#9-Love In Itself
#10-People Are People
#11-Master And Servant
#12-Blasphemous Rumours/Somebody
#13-Shake The Disease
#14-It's Called A Heart
#15-Stripped
#16-A Question Of Lust
#17-A Question Of Time
#18-Little 15
#19-Strangelove
#20-Never Let Me Down Again
#21-Behind The Wheel
#22-Everything Counts (Live)
