"John the Revelator" / "Lilian" is a double A-sided single by Depeche Mode, released 5 June 2006. Both songs are featured on Depeche Mode's 2005 album, Playing the Angel and serve as the fourth single from the album (see 2006 in British music). The single became another UK Top 20 hit for the band, reaching #18.
"John the Revelator" was added to BBC 6 Music's B-List, but it failed to make any other BBC playlists or that of Xfm London. It was also played by a few alternative rock radio stations in the US, including WKQX (Chicago), throughout 2006, despite not being released as a single there.
The single is the first UK double A-side release by the band since "Blasphemous Rumours / Somebody" in 1984.
While the main single is "John the Revelator" / "Lilian", there are a few releases with just "John the Revelator". A video was only produced for "John the Revelator" and the single is the only one of the four Playing the Angel singles that does not feature a new b-side.
"Lilian" is currently the only single by Depeche Mode (besides the upcoming "Martyr") that has not been played live. It is their third single not to be played at its album's tour ("Little 15" and "Goodnight Lovers" are the others, but both were played at future tours), and one of three Playing the Angel songs that was not played during Touring the Angel.
